ABSTRACT

Pelvi-perineal disorders represent a wide spectrum of diseases involving different disciplines. A patient-centered care and a coordinated approach, extended from functional to oncological diseases, may be achieved through the planning of a “pelvi-perineal network”. The network is a new clinical and organizational model, entirely devoted to pelvi-perineal health through a multidisciplinary multiprofessional approach, coordinated and synergistic. The network is a new mental approach, without walls, to treat different diseases in the same patient and not a concrete management unit for single disease. In the network the team care approach is critical to get a more in-depth understanding of the symptoms cascade and to define a coordinated integrated management.
