Gynecologic Surgery
Gynecologic surgery is surgery performed on a woman's pelvic region. It is usually performed by an OB/GYN and can involve the bladder, rectum, or reproductive organs. Surgery in this area may be performed for many reasons, but the most common procedures include:
More and more, gynecologic surgery is moving towards the use of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery uses several small incisions and tiny tools and scopes to perform the operation, rather than one large opening. While it is not appropriate in every case, minimally invasive surgery can lead to less scarring, less blood loss, faster recovery, and a lower chance for infection. Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery may be performed with a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera on the end that allows the surgeon to see inside the body. It may also be performed robotically, using even smaller tools and cameras that a surgeon controls from a computer. Robotic surgery allows even better vision, precision, and control than laparoscopic surgery.
Over the course of a lifetime, many women need pelvic surgery to stay healthy. Qualified gynecologic surgeons will have the right tools at their disposal to provide care with a minimum of discomfort.
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:
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.
Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS)
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS), also called sacral neuromodulation, is a treatment for bladder and bowel problems. Using thin, insulated wires (electrodes) and a device called a neurostimulator, sacral nerve stimulation can deliver electrical signals to correct communication issues between the brain and the bladder. The electrical signals reach the sacral nerve, which is responsible for muscles that control the bladder and rectal sphincter. By targeting this nerve, sacral nerve stimulation can influence the activity of pelvic muscles to treat overactive bladder, fecal (bowel) incontinence, and chronic constipation. When diet or lifestyle changes, medication, and other conservative options fail to work, neurostimulation is an option.
SNS surgery has two parts. The first part is an evaluation phase, during which it is determined if neurostimulation is effective treatment option for patients. Patients lie on their stomachs while a temporary electrode lead, through which electrical signals will travel, is inserted into their lower back. A permanent lead may also be used, and it would remain in place should the trial period prove successful. The lead is connected to an external neurostimulator. The procedure takes approximately one hour and may be performed in a doctor's office, hospital, or surgical center. After the procedure, patients are required to keep a log of their toilet habits over approximately two weeks, and they may need to limit their activities during this time. If patients' symptoms do not improve after the trial, they may repeat the test phase or discuss other treatment options with their doctors.
If the trial stimulator is effective, patients will undergo the second phase of SNS surgery, which is permanent implantation. In the second stage of surgery, the temporary lead (if used) will be replaced with a permanent lead. Then the sacral nerve stimulator will be implanted subcutaneously (under the skin) in the upper buttock. Patients should be able to return home the day of their procedure.
If patients are sore after surgery, their doctors may give them medication. The sacral nerve stimulator will be programmed after the procedure, and when it is turned on, patients should feel a sensation similar to pulling, tapping, tingling, or pulsing. Patients will need to work with their doctors during follow-up appointments to determine the most effective settings for the stimulator. Patients will be given instructions on how to adjust it themselves at home. The stimulator is powered by a battery that will last approximately five years, after which it can be replaced.
