Summary:

Over the past five years, a significant amount of new information concerning epidemiology, medical, and surgical therapy for patients with incontinence has appeared. However, until now, there hasn't been a comprehensive reference book that covered current concepts and treatment strategies. Continence: Current Concepts and Treatment Strategies presents every aspect of this topic and focuses on the latest diagnostic tests and surgical approaches, including laparoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, and medical therapies. It also includes special topics, such as the use of biological materials in the repair of prolapse, male incontinence, economic aspects, the continuation of medical education, and an in-depth study of new minimally invasive techniques.

Written by an international team of leading experts and edited by four world-renowned leaders in continence therapy, this title is a state-of-the-art guide to both the scientific study of the associated disorders, as well as their practical and clinical management. By bringing the reader up-to-date with current trends and methods, this book is able to look ahead to future approaches and treatment plans, all presented in a succinct clear style and supplemented with more than 200 images. This work is for all practicing urologists, gynecologists, and other members of the vast multi-disciplinary team required to successfully diagnose, manage, and treat the conditions covered.
