Differentiation is made between:
- Treatment of urinary incontinence and prolapse conditions
- Revision surgeries
Information:
Urinary incontinence: Causes of bladder weakness can include a stretched pelvic floor or weak connective tissue, and the treatment aims to restore natural position and function.
In Gateway Clinics, the following treatments are offered in this context:
- Diagnostic evaluation of female prolapse conditions
- Conservative treatment of incontinence and prolapse conditions
→ ErYAG laser therapy
→ Physiotherapy / pelvic floor training / biofeedback
→ Pessary therapy
- Minimally invasive surgical treatment of prolapse conditions
→ Vaginal surgical procedures
→ Laparoscopic surgical procedures
- Minimally invasive surgical therapies for stress urinary incontinence
→ Tension-free suburethral tape
→ Paraurethral injection therapy (injection into the urethra)
→ State-of-the-art multimodal urge incontinence therapy, including BOTOX instillation into the bladder
Revision surgeries: If a surgery has already been performed to correct bladder weakness and has not achieved the desired outcome, new approaches are undertaken to restore pelvic floor function.
