The Hirslanden Continence Centre is part of the Hirslanden Group, Switzerland's largest private healthcare group.   It is situated adjacent to and cooperates closely with Klinik Hirslanden, the principal hospital in the Hirslanden Group.
The Centre is uniquely placed to benefit from the new and exciting area of neuropelviology.  This was pioneered by Prof Marc Possover, who heads the Neuropelviology Centre next door.
The attending doctors and therapists look at the whole person, taking account of their individual needs and then draw up a personal treatment plan, together with patients and their families.

Neurology
With experienced practitioners, sensitive handling and correct interpretation of results, the cause of the dysfunction can be identified in just about every case and a promising course of treatment commenced.
Selection of treatment
Treatments offered include medication, instillation, injection with botulinum toxin (Botox), pelvic floor therapy, surgery, neuromodulation and neurostimulation.
Preliminary assessment and examination
Patients start with a detailed consultation and physical examination.  A neurological assessment then focuses primarily on the bladder and urethral sphincter.
Urodynamic examinations help to identify the causes of incontinence or a dysfunction of the urinary bladder. This makes it possible to distinguish between disorders of the urine-storage and urine-expulsion functions of the bladder.
