We also perform revisions of previous procedures for complications or in some cases failure to lose weight or weight regain. The program currently offers the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and the Sleeve Gastrectomy. Below is a brief overview of each of these procedures. You may also want to visit our frequently asked questions page. Roux en Y Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is both restrictive and malabsorbtive. The stomach is stapled and divided to create a small pouch that dramatically restricts portion size and gives the feeling of fullness after just a few bites of food. Sleeve Gastrectomy Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a long thin tube (sleeve) out of the stomach.

Patient & Family-centered Care What is Patient Family Centered Care? Patient and family-centered care is not just about “being nice” or “patient satisfaction”. It is an approach to the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care that is grounded in mutually beneficial partnerships among healthcare providers, patients and families. Patient and family centered care is an approach to healthcare that shapes policies, programs, facility design and day-to-day interactions of staff. What are the core concepts of patient and family centered care? · Respect and dignity: We listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices. The expertise, preferences, and culture of each individual and family are valued. · Information Sharing: We communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients and families receive timely, complete, and accurate information in order to effectively participate in care and decision-making. · Participation: Patients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose. · Collaboration: We collaborate with patients and families in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation; in health care facility design; and in professional education, as well as in the delivery of care. Patient and Family Centered Care recognizes that the relationship between patients, families and providers is an essential collaboration. This collaborative approach to care leads to better health outcomes, wiser allocation of resources, and greater patient and family satisfaction What is meant by the word "family"? The word "family" refers to two or more persons who are related in any way—biologically, legally, or emotionally. Family is defined by the patient. Family members are encouraged to be involved and are essential to the overall well-being of the patient. Visitors are guests of the patient or family. In some cases, visitors may be relatives. Kings & Queens Teaching Hospital Patient Family Partnership Councils Individuals serving as patient or family partners should reflect a range of experiences within the hospital and should be representative of the community served. Council members must be able to: · Share insights and information about their experiences in ways that others can learn from them. · See beyond their own personal experience and show concern for more than one issue or agenda. · Listen well and respect the perspectives of others. · Speak comfortably and candidly in a group. · Interact well with many different kinds of people and work in partnerships with others.

Bladder & Pelvic Health Program
Pelvic floor disorders are a complex combination of medical problems that threaten the quality of life for people of all ages. These conditions include urinary and fecal incontinence, rectal and vaginal prolapse and complex combinations of these disorders, as well as interstitial cystitis, and other pelvic pain syndromes. Conservative estimates are that at least 4-10 million Ghanaians suffer from these conditions. Although both men and women are affected, women are represented in disproportionate numbers with as many as 1 in 3 affected by some level of bladder leakage. Since many of these disorders co-exist, comprehensive evaluation and therapy is absolutely essential. Fortunately, over the past few years, more accurate diagnosis has led to improvement in non-surgical and surgical outcomes, and better patient satisfaction. The multidisciplinary Kings & Queens Teaching Hospital Bladder and Pelvic Health Program is a regional and national program for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of all non-cancerous disorders of the pelvis. Through the combined experience and cooperation of three well-established disciplines at the Kings & Queens Medical University College: urology, gynecology and colorectal surgery, we offer an efficient, cost-effective and comprehensive evaluation and treatment program.

Our advanced diagnostic techniques, nationally and internationally-renown physicians, and full range of therapeutic options including non-invasive, minimally-invasive/day surgical procedures, and ability to do complex pelvic floor reconstructive surgery make us the provider of choice. As part of the Kings & Queens Medical University College, we take care of patients with pelvic floor disorders who are relatively healthy and patients with pelvic floor disorders who are very sick. In fact, we welcome patients with complications who have experienced failed therapies or surgeries elsewhere. We have helped many individuals who were considered “hopeless” by others. We also welcome individuals seeking second opinions. We provide individualized care. There is no single solution that fits all persons with pelvic floor disorders. We, therefore, take into account each individual’s needs, wants, desires and limitations, and construct an individualized program for that person. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, we carefully and completely evaluate the whole person. We prescribe a treatment plan only after carefully examining the alternatives, pros and cons, as well as the risks and benefits of each course of therapy. We strive to produce an outstanding level of service and care at all times. We maintain privacy, and professionalism as we work to restore dignity and to improve quality of life for our patients.
