Bladder Dysfunction, Prolapse and Incontinence Treatment Program

We offer the latest nonsurgical incontinence treatments. Our team specializes in:

• Pelvic floor exercises: Also known as Kegel exercises, pelvic floor exercises help you train and strengthen your muscles. Our nurse practitioners provide detailed instructions on Kegel exercises and pelvic floor muscle therapy to help you gain control over incontinence.
• Medications and lifestyle changes: Our experienced team can guide you through lifestyle changes or recommend medication to help you control bladder leakage.
• Biofeedback: During biofeedback, doctors stick sensors on your skin. These sensors connect to a computer. The computer gives you feedback about your pelvic floor muscles so you learn how to control them.
• Pessaries: A pessary is a device that you place in the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Our experienced team can select the pessary that is most comfortable and effective for you.
  

Our surgeons perform the full range of prolapse, overactive bladder, and incontinence surgical treatments for males and females, including:

• Mesh-free sling surgery: During mesh-free bladder surgery, doctors take a strip of your own tissue from your abdomen or thigh. They use the tissue to create a sling that supports the urethra (tube where urine exits the body). The sling helps keep the urethra in place, which can relieve stress urinary incontinence. Mesh-free bladder surgery is also called autologous sling surgery or mesh-free incontinence and prolapse surgery.
• Midurethral sling surgery: This surgery uses a surgical mesh to support the urethra and hold it in place. Males usually have one small incision in the perineum (area in front of the anus). Females usually have one small vaginal incision.
• Robotic pelvic floor reconstruction: This surgery treats pelvic organ prolapse with strong durable mesh support using our robotic techniques. The robot allows for smaller incisions and greater precision.
• Mesh-free prolapse surgery: During mesh-free prolapse surgery, our surgeons use your own tissue to strengthen pelvic floor support and suspend the vagina.
• Neuromodulation: This procedure uses a wire to stimulate pelvic nerves and improve their function. Neuromodulation can treat overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and difficulty voiding.
