I, hereby consent to the Cellevate procedure, to be performed by Dr. Linda Sodoma, or one of her associates. The purpose of the Cellavate procedure is to restore urethral integrity, and lessen or prevent incontinence, using your own tissue and blood products.
There is a risk of urinary retention, although small. A catheter will be placed into the bladder during the procedure and will be removed at the conclusion. It may be necessary to replace the catheter if urinary retention develops.
Urinary tract infection is another risk to this procedure and antibiotics will be given according to your allergy profile to prevent this from happening.
Other risks may include allergy to lidocaine products. These are short acting local anesthetics, and should an allergy occur, it is usually of short duration.
Due to the complex nature of female incontinence, this procedure may not work to your expectations. It should continue to work over the next year regenerating the support tissue, so results may not be immediate.
There is no guarantee that this procedure will cure your incontinence.
I have read and hereby provide my consent to receive this procedure and I feel my questions have been answered.
