This segment is part of a series, Your Health Matters, where you learn from the experts themselves – from our physicians and scientists, in their words – describing how Scott and White Healthcare is helping shape the future of medicine. Scott and White Healthcare is ahead of the curve when it comes to single-incision laproscopic surgery (SILS) (00:00 – xx:xx). Chris speaks about it with three of their specialists in colon and rectal surgery, Drs Harry T. Papaconstantinou, MD, J.Scott Thomas MD,FACS, and F. Paul Tripp Buckley, MD FACS. They describe the surgery and its advantages compared to other procedures.
Then Chris discusses sex with Dr Diane Dahm. MD– sex after hip surgery, that is. This is a subject she has found that patients have trouble bringing up with their doctor, and vice versa. New limitations in the range of motions possible can cause great difficulties in the lives of patients and their partners until they learn to adjust. Dr. Dahm surveyed 254 hip and knee surgeons regarding whether they discussed return to sexual activity, timing of return, and safety of various sexual positions with patients after total hip replacement. Eighty percent (80%) of them reported they rarely or never discuss these subjects. (xx:xx – xx:xx)
Finally Dr.Nandini Nair, MD, PhD from Scott and White Healthcare discusses with Chris the unique symptoms and causes of health disease in women. (xx:xx – xx:xx).
