International Leaders In Cosmetic Vaginal Surgery

Drs. Miklos and Moore hosted the first international course for laser cosmetic vaginal surgery at their center in Atlanta in 2008, and were also invited to teach in Santa Domingo with Dr. Matlock in the Spring of 2009.

American Urogyn Scientific Mtg Journal
Minimally Invasive Gynecology

Largest Series ever published in the world on Laparoscopic Sacralcolpopexy!

Drs. Miklos and Moore presented the largest series ever presented in the world at the American Urogyn Annual research meeting. They reported on the results of nearly 500 cases of Laparoscopic Sacralcolpopexy that they have completed in the last 3 years at their center in Atlanta. The research is the largest study in the world on this technique and has shown excellent cure rates with very low risk of complications. Many of the leaders of this organization have come to Atlanta to learn Drs. Miklos and Moore’s techniques in this procedure as they are recognized as world leaders in laparoscopic pelvic reconstruction (see physician testimonials) and complete more of these types of procedures than any other center in the United States. Dr. Moore also presented their groundbreaking research on the relationship of estrogen and mesh complications in pelvic floor surgery. This is the first study looking at this relationship and may change how pelvic surgeons treat their patients all over the world. Click here to see the published paper

New Mini Sling!

Drs. Moore and Miklos are once again leading the field in new treatments of minimally invasive treatment for urinary leakage. Dr. Moore was the first surgeon in the country to perform the new MiniArc mini-sling procedure for female SUI. Their center in Atlanta was picked as the leading center to study this procedure in the United States, and they are one of only a few centers offering this new exciting procedure. The procedure is completed with only one small incision and can be done under local anesthesia in 5 minutes or less. Initial results have shown cure rates equivalent to the current, more invasive techniques.

Drs. Moore and Miklos recently published the first paper in the world on one-year cure rates for this procedure and presented this data in Italy at the International Urogyn Meeting. Click here to find out more!

International Urogyn Mtgs - 2008/2009 Italy and Taiwan

Drs. Moore and Miklos traveled to Lake Como, Italy, in June of this year to present research and teach at the International Urogynecology Meeting. Dr. Moore chaired a course with Professor M. Cosson from France on vaginal mesh kits and complications, and they also presented their research on mini-slings and mesh repairs for prolapse for this international audience. Dr. Moore traveled to Taiwan last Fall to present multiple studies regarding vaginal mesh procedures and complications as well as the Mini-sling for SUI. Drs. Miklos and Moore are considered experts in the world on these techniques and this is why surgeons all over the world continue to desire to learn from them and they continue to be invited as guest lecturers and present their research all over the world.

Vaginal Mesh Complications

Drs. Moore and Miklos are considered two of the country’s leading experts in vaginal mesh complications. Mesh is used in many procedures vaginally and abdominally for both incontinence and prolapse. While mesh has been shown to be very beneficial with these procedures, unfortunately complications can occur and many times can be very difficult to treat. Many patients have a hard time finding a surgeon that can take care of these problems. Drs. Miklos and Moore have helped develop many of the techniques of these procedures both vaginally and laparoscopically, and have extensive experience not only with its use, but also with taking care of complications that may occasionally occur. Surgeons from throughout the U.S. recognize their experience and expertise and send patients to them on a regular basis to take care of these problems. Because they happen relatively rarely and most surgeons don’t have much experience taking care of these problems, Drs. Moore and Miklos are sent patients from all over the U.S. and as a result, they have developed a great deal of experience with surgical complications. They recently published a review on this subject in Scientific World Journal. Click here for the review

Dr. Moore travels throughout the U.S. lecturing and teaching surgeons on how to avoid these complications and last year alone, he has taught and lectured to more than 500 surgeons across the country. He recently was asked by the International Urogynecology Association to be the Chairman of a course on Vaginal Mesh Procedures at their annual meeting in Italy, leading a faculty that most consider the world’s leading experts including Prof. Rane (Aus), Prof. Cosson (France), Prof. Duprest (Belgium), Dr. Lucente (U.S.), and others.
