Summary:

Genital prolapse, or pelvic occurs when the structures of the pelvis protrude into the outside vaginal canal. Female Genital Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence is the first book of its kind, dedicated specifically to genital prolapse, and is filled with every different type of prolapse including the bladder, uterus, rectum, and the mucosal fold containing the intestine. Editors Gomel and van Herendael cover all aspects of this defect while emphasizing the managed care of genital prolapse, and also explore both surgical and non-surgical treatments, which include methods for the diagnosis and treatment of all abnormalities.

This source looks to examine: the anatomy of the pelvic floor in conjunction with it's history and clinical investigations, techniques including, but not limited up, the Bruch Technique, TOT Technique, and TVT Technique, vaginal vault prolapses including lateral fixation, sacrofixation, and treatment for the posterior IVS and spinofixation, a full chapter devoted to computer based electronic artificial sphincters.
