Incontinence, both faecal and urinary, is still a taboo subject in India. It is very common in ladies who have gone through difficult childbirth (labour) in the past. The results of surgery are poor and the risks are significant.
At Kokilaben Hospital, the Colorectal Unit offers highly specialised incontinence services. The team consists of a colorectal surgeon, physiotherapists and incontinence nurse specialists. This unit is equipped to handle both minor as well as severe incontinence problems.
We also offer laparoscopic rectopexy for rectal prolapse. This procedure has the lowest recurrence rates. It is less painful and has faster recovery rates.
We are the first unit in India to offer implantation of a pacemaker, like the one used in the heart, to treat different types of incontinence. This technology is very new and has received excellent results in the UK and USA.
