Pelvic surgery for gynecologic and urologic cancers may require removal of the bladder and/or the rectum (lower portion of the large intestine). Specialists at the Center for Restorative Pelvic Medicine combine the latest advances in vaginal reconstruction, urologic reconstructive surgery and restoration of colon continuity to offer patients the most effective approaches in pelvic reconstruction. Treatment goals include restoration of function and preservation of body image.
Types of cancers associated with secondary radical surgery include:
- Bladder cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Cervical dysplasia
- Colon cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Rectal cancer
- Vaginal cancers
Treatment
Serious conditions or injuries after pelvic and abdominal radiation for gynecologic and urologic cancer can become a problem for patients anywhere from six to 24 months after completing therapy. Depending on the complexity of your injuries, more than one treatment may be available. The ultimate goal is restoration of form and function. Some of the treatments used are:
- Pelvic floor muscle electrical stimulation
- Coverage of complex wounds
- Penile reconstruction and scrotum reconstruction
- Vaginal reconstruction
- Bladder reconstruction and surgeries for incontinence
