Incontinence Procedures

In our center we manage stress urinary incontinence through state of the art minimally invasive surgical (laparoscopic) procedures where the hospital stay is less than 24 hours and the recovery is fast (usually 1-2 weeks). A proper evaluation and accurate diagnosis coupled with the appropriate surgical corrective procedure and/or medical management, leads to resolution of incontinence in the vast majority of our patients.

Incontinence procedures which are performed entirely via laparoscopic techniques include the Burch or Marshall/Marshetti/Krantz procedures (retropubic bladder neck suspension procedures).
