TVT
 

One of the most popular and successful treatments for stress incontinence is known as TVT (Transvaginal Tensionless Tape). TVT is an outpatient procedure which takes only about 25 minutes. It involves sedation and local anesthesia, with minimal post-op discomfort. Patients can usually walk around the block the day after surgery, and drive a car three days after that.

TVT results at The Hubbard Clinic have been remarkable. Since 1999, Dr. Hubbard has performed over 1,000 TVT procedures. Of those, approximately 80% have seen their symptoms disappear completely, and over 99% have experienced significant improvement in their symptoms.

Women who have had the TVT procedure are our happiest patients. Just ask a friend or neighbor about TVT at The Hubbard Clinic. Better yet, ask any of the surgical nurses at Suburban, Baptist East or Health South Outpatient Surgery. They'll tell you it's a wonderful thing.

***TVT sling is now being offered as an in office procedure at “The Hubbard Clinic” for most commercial Insurance carriers.

  • Patient Comfort.  The Hubbard Clinic performs procedures under monitored IV sedation administered by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).  Most patients report no pain associated with the procedure.  All the procedures offered by The Hubbard Clinic are FDA approved with minimal recovery time.
  • Convenience.   The procedures are performed in a center located within The Hubbard Clinic.  The patient is surrounded by the familiar, friendly, and experienced staff prior to, during, and after the procedure.  The soothing and inviting environment calms the patient and their loved ones.  Usually the entire procedure process takes less than 2 ½ hours
  • Risk of Infection.  The risk of infection is greatly reduced in an office setting as opposed to the hospital setting where the patient is in close proximity to sick people.  Also, the patient is quickly stabilized and released after the procedure into their home environment to recover.
  • Financial Liability.  The patient financial responsibility is drastically less for procedures performed in the office verses the hospital.  Many insurance carriers only charge an office co-payment.  As a courtesy, the clinic contacts your insurance carrier and notifies you of the patient liability prior to the procedure.
