Structure of the Continence and Pelvic Floor Centre South Baden
The Continence and Pelvic Floor Centre South Baden is an interdisciplinary facility for the comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of patients with diseases and functional disorders of the pelvic floor. The centre’s aim is to provide care that is coordinated across specialties and tailored individually to each patient’s symptoms and findings.
The centre’s core tasks include the structured diagnosis and treatment of urinary and faecal incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse symptoms and other complex disorders of the pelvic floor. In complex cases, an interdisciplinary assessment is carried out and the further diagnostic and therapeutic approach is agreed jointly.
