Pelvic Floor Center

Center for Pelvic Floor and Motility Disorders

Our Center for Pelvic Floor Disorders integrates the expertise of a number of physicians and surgeons to treat patients with constipation, fecal or urinary incontinence, rectal, vaginal or bladder prolapse, diarrhea and pelvic floor pain.

Specialists in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, urology, gynecology, and radiology comprehensively evaluate these patients utilizing standard and specialized testing techniques. Specialized tests available include anorectal manometry, anal electromyography, pudendal nerve terminal motor latency testing, defecography, urodynamic testing, and transanal/transrectal ultrasonography. This thorough, integrated evaluation not only identifies the causes of fecal incontinence and constipation, but also identifies all associated disorders (e.g., bladder dysfunction) that should be treated concomitantly. Treatment plans usually involve the integration of dietary, medical, biofeedback, and surgical therapies.
