Urogynecology
Urogynecological surgery is a surgical procedure performed in the field where women's urological and gynecological problems intersect. This branch aims to treat both urinary tract problems and gynecological conditions in women. Urogynecological surgery is a multidisciplinary approach, conducted in collaboration with gynecologists and obstetricians, as well as urologists.
Women's urinary tract problems often arise from conditions such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, urinary incontinence, and bladder prolapse (the bladder prolapses through the vagina). These conditions can significantly impact daily life and restrict women's social lives. Urogynecological surgery plays a crucial role in treating these problems.
Urogynecological surgical procedures are usually performed in the following areas:
Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence, a common condition in women, can develop due to factors such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, childbirth, and aging. Urogynecological surgery utilizes various surgical techniques to address urinary incontinence. This treatment is often an important step in improving a woman's quality of life.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP): Pelvic organ prolapse is the prolapse of organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum through the vagina. This condition can be a serious condition that reduces a woman's quality of life. Urogynecological surgery offers relief for women through minimally invasive procedures and surgical interventions for the treatment of prolapse.
Bladder Inflammation and Infections: Bladder infections, which are common in women, manifest with symptoms such as pain, burning sensation, and frequent urination in the urethra. Urogynecology surgery offers surgical and medical treatment options to treat these infections.
Structural Problems in the Urinary System: Urogynecological surgery is also used to treat urinary tract obstructions, bladder stones, and other structural problems in the bladder. These conditions often require surgery and can lead to more serious health problems if left untreated.
Vaginal Strictures and Other Vaginal Problems: Vaginal stenosis can cause women to experience pain during intercourse and other vaginal discomfort. Urogynecological surgery, vaginal dilation, and other treatments can address this issue.
One of the greatest advantages of urogynecological surgery is the use of minimally invasive techniques. This helps patients recover more quickly and experience less pain. Furthermore, post-operative recovery time is shortened, allowing women to quickly resume their normal lives.
Prof. Dr. Süleyman Salman, a gynecologist and obstetrician, is one of the leading experts in urogynecological surgery. His extensive knowledge and experience in this field ensure that patients receive accurate diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, he maintains the highest level of patient health during surgical interventions in this field, achieving exceptionally successful results.
Successful urogynecological surgery requires accurate assessment and comprehensive knowledge of the patient's condition. Each patient's situation is unique, so treatment plans must be personalized. Professor Dr. Süleyman Salman considers medical approaches and lifestyle changes, in addition to surgical interventions, when determining the most appropriate treatment method for his patients.
Urogynecological surgery, which aims to improve women's quality of life and address their health problems, is a specialized treatment in this field. The success of the surgery depends not only on technical skill but also on the patient's overall health and the attention to detail given to the treatment process.
