Specialized Vaginal Reconstruction & Pelvic Floor Surgery in St. Louis, Missouri

Pelvic floor disorders can affect everyday comfort, bladder control, physical activity, and quality of life. For women experiencing persistent symptoms or complications following previous surgery, finding a physician with specialized reconstructive experience can be especially important.

Dr. Dionysios K. Veronikis is a double board-certified urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon with more than 30 years of experience treating complex women’s pelvic health conditions.

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, he is the founder of Gynecologic and Reconstructive Surgery, a practice focused on vaginal reconstruction, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and challenging pelvic floor disorders.

His specialized experience attracts patients from throughout the United States and internationally, including women seeking evaluation after unsuccessful previous procedures.

Specialized Training at Massachusetts General Hospital

Dr. Veronikis completed a three-year fellowship in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital.

He was the first physician to complete this pioneering three-year training program, which provided advanced instruction in vaginal surgery, pelvic floor anatomy, and complex reconstructive procedures.

He holds two board certifications:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery

His advanced training provides a foundation for evaluating and treating conditions affecting the muscles, connective tissues, and organs of the female pelvis.

A Practice Dedicated to Women’s Pelvic Health

In 1997, Dr. Veronikis founded Gynecologic and Reconstructive Surgery in St. Louis.

He established the practice to focus specifically on women experiencing pelvic floor disorders and conditions requiring advanced vaginal or pelvic reconstructive treatment.

His areas of care include pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, vaginal reconstruction, and complications associated with previous pelvic surgery.

His approach emphasizes restoring anatomical support, preserving tissue function, and developing treatment plans suited to each patient’s individual needs.

Understanding Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and connective tissues supporting the pelvic organs weaken.

This can allow the bladder, uterus, or rectum to move downward from their normal positions.

Women may experience pressure, a vaginal bulge, discomfort, or symptoms that interfere with everyday activities.

Dr. Veronikis performs reconstructive vaginal surgery intended to restore pelvic support and address symptoms associated with prolapse.

Treatment recommendations depend on the type and severity of the condition, medical history, previous treatments, and individual preferences.

Vaginal Reconstructive Surgery

Changes in vaginal and pelvic anatomy can develop following childbirth, aging, previous surgery, or pelvic floor disorders.

For some patients, these changes may require specialized surgical evaluation.

Dr. Veronikis has extensive experience in vaginal reconstructive procedures designed to address anatomical and functional concerns.

His approach considers each patient’s symptoms, pelvic anatomy, and treatment goals when determining whether surgery is appropriate.

Urinary Incontinence & Pelvic Floor Conditions

Urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders can interfere with daily activities, physical comfort, and confidence.

Some women experience urinary leakage or difficulty controlling bladder function, while others have symptoms related to weakened pelvic support.

Dr. Veronikis evaluates these conditions and discusses available treatment options based on individual medical findings.

His goal is to help patients understand the cause of their symptoms and the potential benefits and limitations of treatment.

Revision Surgery After Previous Pelvic Procedures

Some women continue to experience pelvic floor symptoms after undergoing surgery.

Others may develop recurrent prolapse, anatomical complications, or problems related to previous repairs.

Dr. Veronikis has extensive experience evaluating patients with complex surgical histories and providing corrective procedures when appropriate.

Because previous surgery can alter pelvic anatomy, revision treatment requires careful examination, specialized planning, and realistic expectations.

International Experience & Recognition

Dr. Veronikis’s work in vaginal and pelvic reconstructive surgery has attracted patients and professional attention from outside the United States.

His international experience includes providing specialized urogynecologic surgical care through an arrangement with Scotland’s National Health Service.

Women from different countries have also traveled to his St. Louis practice for evaluation of complex pelvic floor conditions.

His international work reflects his longstanding focus on challenging reconstructive cases.

Extensive Experience in Vaginal Surgery

Dr. Veronikis’s practice reports performing more than 700 surgical procedures each year.

This high surgical volume includes patients with a variety of pelvic floor conditions, recurrent prolapse, and complications following previous procedures.

Extensive experience can be valuable when considering complex reconstructive surgery, although the number of procedures performed does not guarantee a particular result.

Patients should discuss their specific condition, expected outcomes, potential complications, and available alternatives before choosing surgery.

A Personalized Approach to Surgical Care

Dr. Veronikis emphasizes careful evaluation, patient education, and open communication.

Each consultation begins with understanding the patient’s symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, and concerns.

Patients receive information about their condition, available treatment options, potential benefits, risks, and recovery considerations.

His approach recognizes that pelvic health concerns can be sensitive and that every patient’s circumstances are different.
