Some issues Dr. Maria Antonia Mirth, MD can help you with:

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is the use of a special tool called a colonoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end) to examine the inside of the colon and rectum. The tube is typically inserted anally, and it allows the physician to examine the large intestine from the inside. It may be done at any time to diagnose bowel problems, but routine colonoscopies are advised after the age of 50 to screen for colon cancer.

A colonoscopy may be performed to diagnose:

Intestinal ulcers
Polyps
Bowel cancer
An unidentified source of pain or bleeding in the intestine

Patients may be asked to drink only liquids in the days before a colonoscopy, or they may be given an enema to remove residual fecal matter. Before the exam, patients are given medication to help them relax, and then lay on their side on a table. The scope is inserted into the anus and gently moved all the way through the large intestine. Air may be pumped into the intestine to improve the view for the physician. Any polyps that are found will be removed. Then the colonoscope will be withdrawn. A colonoscopy is not usually painful, but patients may feel some bloating or have some cramps right afterward. If patients have polyps removed, they might experience a small amount of bleeding. Any side effects should go away within a few hours.

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.
