About Tatiana Sanses
Dr. Sanses is an Associate Professor at Howard University (HU) and the Chief of the Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Division in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Howard University Hospital (HUH). Over the past decade, she has provided detailed descriptions of physical performance measures and functional limitations among women, highlighting the complex interactions between lower body mobility impairments and pelvic floor muscle weakness.
In her quest to understand pelvic floor disorders in women, Dr. Sanses adopts a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating both clinical assessments and advanced imaging techniques to explore the pathophysiology of the condition. She provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for women with pelvic floor disorders.
As a urogynecologist, Dr. Sanses specializes in diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapses, and fecal incontinence. She is trained to manage these conditions through both non-surgical and surgical interventions, providing personalized care to enhance her patients' quality of life.
Dr. Sanses is particularly noted for her expertise in robotic and vaginal surgeries. She has pioneered several firsts at Howard University Hospital, including performing the first robotic gynecologic surgery and the first robotic complex pelvic reconstructive surgery. Robotic surgery involves the use of robotic systems to perform minimally invasive procedures with precision, which can result in less pain, reduced blood loss, and quicker recovery times for patients. Vaginal surgery, another minimally invasive approach, accesses the pelvic organs through the vaginal canal, offering benefits such as shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. Dr. Sanses' skill in these advanced surgical techniques allows her to provide high-quality care to women with complex pelvic floor disorders, making significant advancements in the field of urogynecology.
