PRE-SURGICAL COUNSELING AND SECOND OPINION

The patient with a shortened vagina after hysterectomy, who now has painful sexual intercourse, is often a failure of thorough pre-operatory counseling. A different surgical technique could have been chosen if all relevant aspects were taken into consideration.

When the decision for surgery has been made, the best way to perform it depends on technical aspects as well as patient’s preference and goals. All these issues should be discussed in detail. A second opinion might help see problems from a different point of view. Dr Sassone both gives second opinions and encourages her patients to obtain one before making a final decision.
