“International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, usually just FIGO ("fee'go") as the acronym of its French name Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique, is a worldwide NGO organisation representing obstetricians and gynaecologists in over one hundred territories. It was founded on 26 July 1954 in Geneva, Switzerland as an organisation representing 42 national societies. Membership is currently composed of 124 professional societies of obstetricians and gynaecologists worldwide. The headquarters of FIGO was initially located at Geneva, Switzerland. The FIGO Secretariat is located at London.^[1]

Core activities

The aim of FIGO is to "promote the well-being of women and to raise the standard of practice in obstetrics and gynaecology". It is financed by dues of member societies, grants, and educational activities.

FIGO's work covers many aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology such as oncology, STDs/AIDS, perinatal health, education, safe motherhood, the pathology of the breast, medical terminology, social activities on women's health, new technology and ethics.^[2]

Classification systems

Uterine bleeding

In 2011 FIGO recognized two systems designed to aid research, education, and clinical care of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in the reproductive years.

Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is staged using the FIGO staging system and uses information obtained after surgery, which can include a total abdominal hysterectomy via midline laparotomy, removal of (usually) both ovaries and Fallopian tubes, (usually) the omentum, pelvic (peritoneal) washings, assessment of retroperitoneal lymph nodes (including the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes), appendectomy in suspected mucinous tumors, and pelvic/peritoneal biopsies for cytopathology.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Publications

World Congress of Gynaecology and Obstetrics

FIGO conducts a triennial meeting, the "World Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology".^[7] In addition the society sponsors fellowships, lectures, provides reports about women’s health, and offers grants. Importantly through international committees consensus guidelines are achieved about evaluation and treatment of gynaecological and obstetrical disorders. Thus the FIGO staging system for gynaecological malignancy is generally accepted.

Member associations

The following 124 professional societies are members of FIGO as of December 2010 -
