Duke’s Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery team is specially trained to care for the unique needs of women with pelvic floor disorders, offering a wide variety of minimally invasive options, including robotic surgery, allowing patients to return to their normal lives sooner than with other traditional surgical approaches. The division specializes in the treatment of the vaginal walls that lose their support and may drop (vaginal prolapse), loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence), and loss of bowel control (accidental bowel leakage). The team also are equipped to evaluate patients for less common conditions such as abnormal connections between the vagina and nearby organs (vaginal fistula) and abnormalities of the urethra (urethral diverticulum).
