What Else Do We Treat?
The center also addresses complications from previous surgeries – removal of eroded slings, removal of slings from the urethra or bladder, and specialized techniques for sling removal in cases of neuropathic pain caused by sling placement.
- In cooperation with urologists, the center performs reconstruction of vesicovaginal fistulas (either laparoscopically or vaginally).
- For prolapse treatment, the full spectrum of classic vaginal reconstructive surgeries is performed, including suspension to the sacrospinous ligaments; in very high-risk patients, colpocleisis is also performed. A large number of patients also undergo laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
- The center focuses on managing complications from previous prolapse surgeries, including the removal of implanted materials.
- For overactive bladder (OA B) syndrome, comprehensive diagnostics are available, including botulinum toxin application. For complicated cases, sacral neuromodulation is also offered.
- At the perineal clinic, women with extensive postpartum injuries are monitored. Surgical options include repair of persistent fecal incontinence with secondary suturing of the external anal sphincter.
Perineal remodeling after extensive injuries is also performed. For women with persistent fecal incontinence, the center also provides indication for sacral neuromodulation.
Collaboration with Other Specialties
The center performs comprehensive clinical diagnostics for women with suspected neuropathic issues in the pelvic and lower urogenital tract. Adequate diagnosis and treatment require collaboration with pain specialists (specialized anesthesiologists), urologists, neurologists, physiotherapists, and radiology (see diagram).
- A large portion of the complaints are functional in nature and are addressed through physiotherapy.
- An integral part of treatment is collaboration with a pain specialist and appropriately indicated pharmacological treatment for chronic pain.
- If a neurological cause is suspected, patients are referred for a consultative neurological examination with a collaborating neurologist.
- If a urological cause is suspected (painful bladder syndrome), patients are referred to a urology clinic specialist who manages these types of complaints.
- If pelvic congestion syndrome is suspected, patients are referred to a collaborating interventional angiologist for embolization.
Laparoscopic Pudendal Nerve Release: If conservative treatment fails and all other possible causes of neuropathic pain are excluded, laparoscopic pudendal nerve release is performed in patients with pudendal neuralgia.
Neuromodulation Treatment: For complicated cases, neuromodulation treatment may be considered in collaboration with an interventional pain specialist. At our center, we perform direct implantation of neuromodulation electrodes onto the affected nerve (pudendal nerve).
- An integral part of treatment is the possibility of consulting a clinical psychologist at any stage of treatment.
