Some issues Dr. Brett J. Vassallo, MD can help you with:

Bladder Sling Surgery

If the tube where urine flows out of the body, or urethra, does not close properly and straining causes it to shift out of place, bladder sling surgery may be recommended. In this procedure, the surgeon uses synthetic mesh, a patient's own tissue, or donor tissue to create a sling under the area where the bladder meets the urethra, called the bladder neck. The sling prevents leakage by holding the bladder in place and keeping the urethra closed, especially when coughing or sneezing.

For men, the incision is placed between the base of the scrotum and anus. The incision can be made on the abdomen or in the vagina for women. If a surgeon uses a patient's own tissue to form the sling, she will most likely perform the procedure through the abdominal incision. This approach requires a hospital stay of a few days and down time of a few weeks. Surgery to insert synthetic slings is typically done vaginally. It is performed at an outpatient facility, and most normal activities can be resumed within seven to ten days.

Although recovery is shorter with synthetic slings than with slings made from the patient's own tissue, synthetic slings are associated with a complication known as mesh erosion. When synthetic mesh erodes, it pushes through the vaginal wall and sometimes becomes exposed, causing long-term pain and infections. If this complication occurs, the patient may need to have another surgery to remove the mesh.

Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal)

A hysterectomy is an extremely common surgery performed to remove the uterus. Sometimes the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or cervix will be removed as well. A woman who has had a hysterectomy will no longer have periods and cannot get pregnant.

There are a variety of reasons that women have hysterectomies, including:

Heavy bleeding or pain, such as that due to fibroids, endometriosis, or adenomyosis
Cancer
Prolapsed uterus, where the pelvic muscles can no longer completely hold the uterus in place

It is important to note that having any of these conditions does not necessarily mean that a hysterectomy is necessary. There are other available treatment options in most cases.

Although the uterus is responsible for a period, it is the ovaries that control the hormonal changes that women go through every month. So if a woman has a hysterectomy but keeps her ovaries, she might still experience hormonal swings every month even if she no longer has a period. Alternately, if a younger woman has a hysterectomy where her ovaries as removed, she will essentially be in immediate menopause.

A hysterectomy can be performed traditionally through one large cut in the abdomen, laparoscopically using tiny incisions and small tools, or through the vagina. Full recovery may take four to six weeks. After a hysterectomy, patients might experience sexual changes such as vaginal dryness or a change in libido. It is common to experience strong emotions after a hysterectomy, including both grief and relief. If a patient's ovaries were removed, they may be at higher risk for certain diseases, such as heart disease and osteoporosis. Taking hormonal birth control might reduce this risk.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery, using a tiny opening to get inside the body instead of making a large cut. It uses small tools attached to a thin robotic arm, which is controlled by the surgeon. Robotic surgery may be referred to by the specific kind of robot that is used. The most advanced robot currently in use is called the da Vinci, and surgery using it is sometimes called da Vinci surgery.

There are many benefits to robotic surgery, both for the patient and the surgeon. Robotic surgery allows for more precise movements and increased control during very delicate surgical procedures. This makes performing surgery accurately much easier for surgeons and reduces fatigue. The smaller 'hand' of the robot can enter the body via a much smaller opening, which reduces the risk of infection and scarring and leads to a faster recovery. The robotic hands also contain tiny moveable cameras among their tools, giving surgeons a much closer view of the procedure than would be possible with traditional surgery.
