Significant pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence is prevalent in up to 60% of women above the age 40. Currently there is an over-reliance on old ineffective surgical techniques or the indiscriminate use of new barely studied urogynecologic products and devices. The presence of a specialized service in this field is helpful to middle-aged and older women seeking a better quality of life. Our highly experienced team of faculty at the department of OB/GYN is well versed in the surgical treatment of these conditions.
We are establishing a urodynamics laboratory with capabilities in complex multi-channel cystometry, urethral profilometry, anduroflowmetry in collaboration with the division of urology. This service optimizes the medical and surgical treatment of urogenital conditions of women.
