Some issues Dr. Julie Nicole Stewart, MD can help you with:

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.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a kind of minimally invasive surgery using a thin, narrow tube called a laparoscope. Usually performed on the abdomen or the pelvic region, the surgeon makes a few very small incisions instead of one large one.

During the procedure, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope, which contains a light and camera that allows the surgeon to see what is happening inside the body. Then tiny tools are placed through the small openings and used to perform the surgery.

The most common laparoscopic surgery is gallbladder removal, but laparoscopic surgery may also be used for the removal of a kidney or appendix, to treat certain cysts and tumors, for bariatric surgery, for some GERD treatments, or for hernia repairs, among others.

Because laparoscopic surgery only uses a few tiny incisions, the scars are minimal and recovery is easier than with open surgery.

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.
