Some issues Dr. Lori M. Dulabon, DO can help you with:

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.

Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.

In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

Bladder Suspension Surgery

Women who suffer from stress urinary incontinence may benefit from bladder suspension surgery. This procedure relieves pressure on the muscles supporting the bladder by lifting its base (called the bladder neck). With this area lifted, the muscles are better able to prevent urine leakage. Bladder suspension is often done using either the Burch procedure or the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz (MMK) procedure.

The Burch procedure uses sutures to attach vaginal tissue around the bladder neck to the ligaments near the pubic bone, whereas in the MMK procedure, vaginal tissue is attached directly to the pubic bone. Both types of bladder suspension may be performed using the traditional or laparoscopic approach.

If done traditionally, either a large abdominal incision or a small vaginal incision is made, and a hospital stay of one to three days is usually necessary. Laparoscopic bladder suspension requires three or four tiny cuts on the abdomen where surgical instruments are passed through, allowing the surgeon to suspend the bladder without large incisions. This approach is typically done at an outpatient facility, so no hospital stay is necessary.

While it takes about six weeks for most of the healing to occur after the abdominal approach, patients can expect to return to work within seven to ten days after the vaginal and laparoscopic procedures. Lifting objects over 15 pounds should be avoided for three months after a vaginal bladder suspension, but after an abdominal bladder suspension, lifting objects over 20 pounds is never recommended.

Hydrocele

A hydrocele is a collection of fluid around the testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. Hydroceles are common in newborns; they develop when the fluid in the sac surrounding each testicle does not get absorbed before birth. Hydroceles in newborns often disappear on their own during the first year of life. They are rare in adults, but when they occur, they are usually caused by injury, infection, or swelling in the scrotum, testicle, or epididymis, which is a coiled tube behind each testicle.

Hydroceles are typically painless, and surgical repair or removal, called hydrocelectomy, is only necessary if they continue to grow. In a hydrocelectomy, the surgeon makes an incision in or near the scrotum and uses suction to drain the fluid. The sac that contained the fluid may be cut and removed as well, or it may be stitched onto the back of the testis and epididymis, before the incision is closed.

This procedure may be done at an outpatient facility, so a hospital stay is usually not required. Normal activities can be resumed a few days following surgery, but exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for about two to four weeks.
