In this episode, host Shannon Wallace, Urogynaecologist, sits down with two colleagues from Ohio who work alongside her in a truly integrated pelvic floor team: Anna Spivak, Colorectal Surgeon, and Cameron Pikula, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. Together, they explore why multicompartment prolapse requires more than a single‑specialty viewpoint—and how collaborative care can transform diagnostic clarity, patient counselling, and long‑term outcomes.
Whether you are part of a multidisciplinary unit or practice in a setting without close-access colleagues, this episode offers practical insights, red flags to watch for, and suggestions for building collaborative pathways in your own environment.
