This up-to-the-minute reference provides comprehensive coverage of
the male and female sphincteric mechanisms and their connection to
the pelvic floor as well as upper and lower urinary tract
function-emphasizing modern approaches to the epidemiology,
diagnosis, and treatment of abnormalities including incontinence,
hypertonicity, retention, dyssynergia, and the overactive
sphincter. Highlights state-of-the-art clinical, urodynamic,
electrophysiological, and imaging techniques such as
ultrasonographic explorations of the female urethra! Detailing
lifestyle interventions, physiotherapy, disposable devices, and
pharmacological therapeutics, The Urinary Sphincter covers
-observations in embryology and infancy that contribute to
pathological phenomena in adults -genital prolapse in females
-recent developments in the engineering and the mechanisms of
action of artificial sphincters, stents, and slings, as well as
surgery, injectible techniques, and various sling procedures
-neuromodulation and neurostimulation of urethrovesical function
-contemporary surgical approaches for coordinated bladder function
-reports from the International Continence Society on the
methodology, standardization of terminology, and complications
related to urethrovesical function and dysfunction -and more!
Furnishing practical algorithms and nearly 3000 useful references,
tables, equations, photographs, and drawings, The Urinary Sphincter
is an invaluable and authoritative source for urologists,
