Our board-certified specialist in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery specializes in treating conditions of the female pelvis and urinary system and has great expertise in robotic reconstructive surgery for:
- prolapse (when the bladder, uterus or rectum drop into the vaginal area)
- incontinence (lack of control over bladder function)
Pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence are extremely common problems, and women often feel that they can’t discuss these important issues with their doctor, or they need to just live with these conditions. It’s an important quality of life issue and something that can often significantly improve or resolve with a combination of treatment options; some non-surgical and some surgical.
Conditions like incontinence and pelvic prolapse can cause uncomfortable symptoms like leakage, pressure, pain and urinary frequency. Risk for these conditions increases the most during pregnancy, after birthing a child, during perimenopause and following menopause. Robotic-assisted outpatient surgery for pelvic conditions like these is safe and highly effective, alongside an array of comprehensive services, diagnostic imaging, treatments and procedures offered at Sansum Clinic.
From preventive care and diagnostic imaging to advanced treatments and minimally invasive surgeries, Sutter Health’s Greater Central Coast team is committed to addressing the evolving health needs of women. With expertise spanning more than 30 specialties, we offer a connected, integrated healthcare experience tailored to each patient.
