Gynecologic Surgery

As we return to Montellano and Clinica Ezell, again we find the majority of women to be referred for pelvic organ prolapse. With the typical patient having delivered 6-12 children, the incidence of debilitating "hernias" in the pelvic region, including stress urinary incontinence, is very high. This condition, while not life threatening, causes many problems for these ladies both from a hygiene standpoint and a social aspect. With the advent of newer, minimally invasive techniques and implantable mesh products such as the Gynecare Prolift and TVTO and Bard Avaulta systems we have been able to surgically repair the defects in our patients and have them able to return to their homes in 1-2 days. Experiencing a rapid recovery they are able to resume their daily activities with an improved quality of life. We are thankful to the companies who donated these valuable products that we might provide for our patients state of the art resources to improve their health.
