Urogynecology
Section Director: Janet Li, M.D.
Mission
The mission of the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery is to provide comprehensive evaluation and management of disorders of the female genitourinary tract, including urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The division also provides clinical instruction in the field of urogynecology to medical students, residents, and clinical fellows.
Clinical Care
Clinical services include urodynamic testing, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and behavioral modification. A variety of approaches to pelvic floor reconstruction and treatment of incontinence include abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic. Surgeries include minimally invasive mid-urethral slings and a variety of vaginal, laparoscopic and robotic procedures for pelvic floor prolapse, including paravaginal cystocele repair, uterosacral ligament suspension, sacrocolpopexy and sacrocervicopexy, which is a popular alternative to hysterectomy for uterine prolapse, and graft-augmented repairs. In addition, laparoscopic and robotic supracervical hysterectomy and laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy are being performed on a regular basis.
Education
BIDMC and Mount Auburn Hospital have a collaborative relationship and share in the academic mission of training medical students, residents and fellows, as well as collaborate on research projects related to urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery. Residents from the gynecologic service at BIDMC participate in urogynecologic procedures as part of their four year gynecology experience. In addition, a PGY3 gynecology resident rotates at Mount Auburn on the Urogynecology service for ten week immersive experience. Curricula emphasize minimally invasive urogynecologic surgery, as well as an ambulatory experience that includes office evaluations and treatment for pelvic floor disorders
