Incontinence

Our incontinence treatments offer effective solutions for regaining bladder control. From nerve stimulation to surgical options, we provide personalized care to help reduce or eliminate unwanted leaks, restoring confidence and comfort.

Overactive Bladder & Bladder Health

We offer advanced treatments for overactive bladder, including Botox injections and hydrodistention, to relieve urgency and pain. These minimally invasive options are tailored to reduce symptoms and improve daily life.

General Bladder Procedures

Our general bladder procedures, including suprapubic cystotomy and cystoscopy, provide both diagnostic insights and direct solutions for complex urinary issues, helping patients manage their health effectively and with minimal discomfort.

Incontinence Treatments

  • InterStim therapy is a nerve stimulation treatment designed for patients with urinary retention or overactive bladder symptoms that haven’t responded to other treatments. The device stimulates the sacral nerves, helping restore normal bladder function.

    Benefits:

    • Targeted Relief: Addresses bladder control by enhancing nerve communication.

    • Customizable: Allows for a trial period to assess effectiveness before permanent implantation​.

  • Bladder suspension is a surgical procedure to correct stress urinary incontinence caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles. By lifting and securing the bladder and urethra to their natural positions, this procedure helps reduce urine leakage.

    Benefits:

    • Improves Bladder Control: Restores the position of the bladder and urethra for better control.

    • Long-Term Solution: Effective for stress incontinence that occurs during physical activity​.

  • This implantable device treats male stress urinary incontinence, often following prostate surgery. The device mimics a healthy sphincter, allowing the patient to control urination with a small pump.

    Benefits:

    • Reliable Urinary Control: Helps men regain control over urination.

    • Patient-Operated: Provides discreet, on-demand function for improved confidence​.

  • Cystocele repair, or anterior repair, corrects bladder prolapse in women, where the bladder bulges into the vagina. The procedure reinforces weakened pelvic muscles, helping the bladder stay in its correct position.

    Benefits:

    • Relieves Prolapse Symptoms: Alleviates discomfort and urinary issues caused by bladder prolapse.

    • Improved Pelvic Support: Strengthens the pelvic floor for lasting results.

Overactive Bladder & Bladder Health

  • Botox injections administered via cystoscopy help relax bladder muscles, reducing urgency and frequency for patients with overactive bladder. This treatment is effective when other therapies haven’t provided relief.

    Benefits:

    • Reduces Urinary Urgency: Temporarily relaxes bladder muscles to decrease symptoms.

    • Quick, Minimally Invasive Procedure: Botox is administered directly to the bladder lining​.

  • Hydrodistention is performed to stretch the bladder wall, typically for patients with interstitial cystitis. This procedure can provide temporary relief from pain and discomfort.

    Benefits:

    • Diagnostic and Therapeutic: Identifies bladder issues and may relieve symptoms for some patients.

    • Minimally Invasive: Offers temporary relief without extensive surgery​.

General Bladder Procedures

  • Suprapubic cystotomy involves creating a small opening in the bladder through the lower abdomen to insert a catheter, providing an alternative way to drain urine. It’s commonly used when urethral catheterization isn’t possible.

    Benefits:

    • Direct Urine Drainage: Bypasses the urethra, aiding patients with specific urinary issues.

    • Minimally Invasive Access: Provides a reliable drainage solution for complex cases​.

  • This combined procedure examines bladder health and measures bladder pressure to diagnose conditions like urinary retention, incontinence, or overactive bladder. Cystoscopy allows the physician to view the bladder lining, while CMG evaluates bladder function during filling.

    Benefits:

    • Comprehensive Diagnosis: Provides insights into bladder function and structure.

    • Non-Surgical Assessment: Minimal discomfort with immediate results for a wide range of urinary conditions.
