Description

Written by an international team of expert urologists and gynecologists, this book has become the standard reference work on female urology and urogynecology. Starting with the subject's history and epidemiology across the world, this expansive textbook covers the basic structure and function of the lower urinary tract in the female; the diagnostic evaluation of incontinence and prolapse; the treatment of incontinence, prolapse, and related conditions; the different forms of associated disorders, including urinary tract infections and lower bowel disorders; other considerations that include care in the community and medico-legal aspects; and guidelines from the International Continence Society.
