Focus on the pelvic floor: interdisciplinary help for women and men at Männedorf Hospital
Pelvic floor problems are a topic that many people keep quiet about, even though they are widespread and affect both women and men. Whether it's involuntary loss of urine, prolapse, faecal incontinence or chronic pain in the pelvic area, anyone who suffers from them knows how severely these symptoms can restrict their quality of life. At Männedorf Hospital, no one has to suffer alone.
Interdisciplinary team for complex complaints
At the certified Lake Zurich Continence and Pelvic Floor Center, patients find a first point of contact that provides comprehensive support, from assessment to treatment. Specialists from the fields of gynecology, urology, surgery, coloproctology and physiotherapy work closely together. Dr. Stefan Eisoldt, Head Physician and Centre Coordinator, emphasizes: "Thanks to the close cooperation between the various disciplines, we can offer our patients comprehensive, coordinated and tailored treatment."
Individual and modern therapies
Conservative therapies often help. Depending on requirements, these are carried out in cooperation with teams from other disciplines such as physiotherapy, neurology and geriatrics. Depending on the findings, the latest surgical techniques are also available, including robot-assisted procedures using the Da Vinci® system. The high-precision robot technology enables minimally invasive procedures and thus protects sensitive structures such as nerve endings and blood vessels. Patients benefit from less pain after the operation and recover much more quickly in comparison.
Highest verifiable quality
Certification as a center for complex care by the leading specialist associations certifies that Männedorf Hospital has the highest verifiable seal of quality for interdisciplinary consultation, care and treatment in accordance with current guidelines and scientific findings.
PD Dr. med. Ralf Joukhadar, Chief Physician of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, heads the center. He and his team take their time, listen and determine the treatment goals together with the patients. Because the focus is on the well-being of each individual.
