Prof. Dr. Igor But, MD, Senior Advisor
Sincere, professional, heartfelt!
"My desire is to help women with various gynecological and urogynecological problems and with problems that result from impaired function of the pelvic organs and pelvic floor muscles. In my long-term clinical and research work, I have focused on finding solutions to improve the quality of life of my patients. I strive to ensure that our patients receive the best solution for their problems, which we implement in the form of excellent diagnostic or surgical services in an intimate environment.
I personally care for my patients before, during, and after surgery and treat them comprehensively. My approach to treatment is based on modern professional guidelines and good experience, and we always adapt the treatment method to the characteristics and wishes of patients, following the vision of minimally invasive surgery."
