COMMUNICATION:
Do you feel comfortable being open with your vaginal surgeon? Have your questions regarding vaginal rejuvenation and cosmetic surgery been answered? Has your doctor made you an informed consumer? Has he discussed with you the risks, benefits, complication, and alternatives to surgery?
Patients are routinely impressed with the attentive staff and surgeons of Atlanta Urogynecology Associates. Drs. Miklos & Moore believe in making their patients "informed consumers about vaginal surgery." An average office visit for a new patient who needs complete vaginal reconstructive surgery can routinely expect a 60-80 minutes face-to-face consultation with their surgeon. Patients needing a single surgical procedure such as a sling or labia reduction require less time but routinely have a 30 minutes face-to-face consultation. Patients really do leave as informed consumers. They understand the diagnosis, recommendations, and alternatives to surgery, cure rates, failures, as well as the type and incidence of general and specific risks of vaginal surgery.
CORRECT DIAGNOSIS:
Because they are advanced pelvic surgeons and have been trained as urogynecologists, their practice is dedicated to vaginal prolapse (relaxation) and its associated symptoms. Most vaginal rejuvenation surgeons make the same one or two diagnosis on most patients. They are not specialists in vaginal prolapse surgery and thus often neglect complete vaginal and uterine prolapse evaluation. If one does not make the correct diagnosis then one can certainly not make the appropriate recommendations. A failure in diagnosis will often result in a failed vaginal surgery.

CORRECT REJUVENATION PROCEDURES:
Most vaginal rejuvenation specialists will do the same surgical procedure on all of their patients despite the degree and totality of prolapse for the vagina and uterus. Patients seen by other vaginal rejuvenation specialists from across the USA have come to Atlanta for a second opinion and many of these patients were found also to have advanced uterine prolapse problems (i.e. the uterus is falling down). A patient with uterine prolapse is not a patient that should have a Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation procedure without also addressing the uterine prolapse. To treat a patient with Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation and not addressing the prolapse of the uterus would be in appropriate and incomplete and show a lack of competence by that surgeon. In fact performing Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation on a patient with uterine prolapse can lead to an inappropriate shortening of the vagina which can lead to painful intercourse. That incompetence could cost you the patient another surgery in the very near future. However Dr. Miklos & Moore only recommend surgeries which are necessary and if the patient only needs Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation that is all they will recommend.
CORRECT URINE LEAKAGE PROCEDURE:
Many specialists offer a simple anterior repair or a Kelly placation for the treatment of Stress Urine Incontinence or cough leakage. Or they simply state that Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation will cure cough leakage 90% of the time… This is ABSOLUTELY FALSE! Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is not the best operation for urine leakage! There has never been a paper or study that shows that Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation, anterior repair or a Kelly placation will cure cough leakage that successfully. The best operation for cough leakage remains one of the following three: Burch, MMK (Marshall Marchetti Krantz procedure and the SLING (TVT, TOT, mini sling). A simple procedure for cough leakage at the time of your vaginal rejuvenation is most commonly a SLING. TVT and TOT slings are 85-90% successful. Kelly placation procedures and anterior repair procedures utilized by most during LVR are shown to be only 20 – 35% successful. Why would they offer you an inferior procedure? Because they are not comfortable doing more advanced surgical procedure. This is the benefit of seeing urogynecologists Dr Miklos & Moore.
