Female stress incontinence. Treatment options and indications
Abstract
The diagnosis of urethral sphincter incompetence is confirmed by urodynamic studies which essentially involved twin channel subtracted cystometry. Detrusor instability and voiding difficulty must be detected. The indications for and an outline of conservative treatment are reviewed. The indications for surgery and a brief review of the operations and how they work and the management of recurrent incontinence are reviewed.
