Dr. Robert Porges - New York City
Dr. Robert Porges, who is interim Chairman of the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University Medical Center, is also director of the Division of Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery and Urogynecology. He treats newborns and children with malformations of the reproductive system, women with childbirth injuries of the birth canal, and older women suffering from urinary incontinence, pelvic hernias, or prolapse, due to weakened muscles, a condition where the pelvic organs may descend into the vagina.
Dr. Robert F. Porges, is experienced in the non-surgical and surgical treatments of uterine prolapse and urinary incontinence.
If surgery is required many of these operations can be approached vaginally, leading to a quicker recovery and easier convalescence. Nationwide, only 25% of hysterectomies, removal of the uterus, are performed vaginally. Dr. Porges is able to apply vaginal techniques to more than 50% of patients needing hysterectomies. Dr. Porges also performs many myomectomies. These operations aim to remove fibroid growths while preserving the uterus.
Dr. Porges has paired up with Dr. Colen to perform surgery on vaginal and bladder problems while she performs the cosmetic labial and hymen surgeries. Together they can handle all female surgical problems and treatment.
