Abstract

Urinary incontinence remains a worldwide problem for both men and women. This lecture will concentrate on the treatment options for female urinary incontinence. The most important decision is determining what type of incontinence the patient has. The two major subtypes are stress incontinence and urge incontinence. The reason for this distinction is that the treatments are very different and using a sling in a patient with urge incontinence can have disastrous consequences. In addition, we will discuss the controversy surrounding the use of synthetic mesh in female incontinence and prolapse surgery. We will touch upon how you should use this material in your clinical practice.
