This document, jointly developed by the Urogynaecological Society of Australasia (UGSA) and the Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy & Surgery Society (AGES), outlines credentialing guidelines for medical practitioners performing abdominal sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy procedures. It establishes agreed qualifications, training requirements, and procedural benchmarks to ensure safe, high-quality care for women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Designed for hospitals and healthcare institutions, this guidance provides clear criteria for both new and currently practicing surgeons, with recommendations for ongoing professional development and audit practices. The guidelines aim to support consistent credentialing standards across Australasia and will be reviewed regularly, with the next update scheduled for March 2025.
