Vaginal Surgery for Incontinence and Prolapse
Vaginal Surgery for Incontinence and Prolapse presents a comprehensive overview of vaginal anatomy and physiology, practical guidelines for office evaluation of incontinence and prolapse, as well as a series of detailed chapters on current reconstructive procedures for urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and prolapse. Vaginal procedures including urethral reconstruction, fistula, diverticulum and others are covered as they relate to urinary incontinence. The challenging topic of ‘recurrence’ is also addressed. 120 illustrations, most of them in color, enhance the text.
Urogynecology in Primary Care
Urogynecology in Primary Care provides a clear and concise resource for primary care providers interested in the most rapidly growing area of women’s healthcare: urogynecology and female pelvic health. It offers an approachable, yet in-depth reference on the core topics—female incontinence, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction—specifically tailored to clinicians without formal surgical or specialty training. These complex subjects are distilled into a clinically useful guide, providing primary care providers with all of the tools necessary to begin managing these conditions in a cost-effective and time-efficient way.
Urogynecology : Evidence-Based Clinical Practice
Urogynecology: Evidence-Based Clinical Practice is written in easily understood language, giving the practical elements of urinary incontinence and prolapse. The book avoids the depths of research detail, common to the large texts, and summarizes practical patient management based upon available evidence and the author’s own clinical experience, indicating controversial areas where there is insufficient evidence.
Therapeutic Management of Incontinence and Pelvic Pain : Pelvic Organ Disorders
Chapters include coverage of the management and treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunctions in men and women, pelvic organ prolapse; issues concerning the elderly, neurologically impaired patients and those with pelvic pain. Allied updated chapters are presented on research methodology, the importance of fluids and infection control. Other new chapters are concerned with quality of life, the treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction in children, the history of pelvic floor muscle exercise and manual therapy. In addition, the use of real-time ultrasound to evaluate pelvic floor muscle contractility, exercise balls to promote coordination of trunk stabilisers and the pelvic floor muscles, and the role of the Occupational Therapist in the continence service are discussed. Finally, a new section on ethical issues regarding the management of incontinence completes this well-illustrated text.
The Female Pelvic Floor : Function, Dysfunction and Management According to the Integral Theory
The IVS operation was so simple and ef ective that I adopted it immediately.The operations promise a new era for women, virtually pain-free cure of prolapse and incontinence without catheters, and return to normal activities within days.Now, ten years later, more than 500,000 ‘tension-free’ anterior or posterior sling operations have been performed. One case in particular stands out from those early years. A woman patient in her mid-50’s came to see me with a f ve year history of urinary retention which required an indwelling catheter.
Rectal Prolapse : Diagnosis and Clinical Management
The pathophysiology of external rectal prolapse is still uncertain, and its clinical and instrumental diagnostic assessment as well as the appropriate surgical or medical approach need to be clarified. The relative rarity of this pathology prevents randomised, controlled trials from being carried out in a single institution and the opinions of outstanding leaders in this field are therefore particularly important. With this collaborative, multiauthor work, the editors fulfil that requirement by drawing together the experience of highly recognised national and international professionals. The volume contains extensive and valuable information regarding preferred methods of evaluating patients with rectal prolapse: its underlying aetiology and pathophysiology, the different treatment methods (both surgical and nonsurgical), the expected functional results following surgery and the management of complex clinical presentations associated with this condition.
Pessaries in Clinical Practice
A valuable resource for the health care practitioner treating patients with incontinence and prolapse, Pessaries in Clinical Practice provides a comprehensive review of the evidence con-cerning pessaries and the practicalities of using them.This book provides profiles of the inventors of some of those more commonly used along with a description of their original purposes. The book provides a significant amount of evidence supporting the use of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence. It goes on to discuss the practical issues involved with the selection, fitting and care of the most popu-lar pessaries. The text-enhancing illustrations guide selection, fitting and care and provide useful information to share with patients.
Pelvic Floor Re-education : Principles and Practice
The second edition of Pelvic Floor Re-education provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, along with other aspects of the clinical assessment and management of pelvic floor disorders. Starting with the latest theories on the anatomy, pathophysiology, and possible causes of pelvic floor damage, the importance of pelvic floor evaluation is looked at in order to determine the type of treatment required. Practical techniques of muscle assessment and investigative methodologies are reviewed and up-to-date information on anatomy and physiology is discussed. An algorithmic approach takes the reader through the options for clinical evaluation and treatment. Several re-education techniques are assessed for pelvic floor dysfunction, including isolated muscle exercise, vagina cones, biofeedback control, and electrical stimulation.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction : A Multidisciplinary Approach
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: A Multidisciplinary Approach is focused on urinary incontinence and other voiding dysfunctions, fecal incontinence and other distal gastroenterologic problems, genital and rectal prolapse, and other recognized pelvic floor problems. Since the Pelvic Floor encompasses all the organs within the pelvic cavity
Female Urology : A Practical Clinical Guide
A Practical Clinical Guide offers a hands-on reference for the management of challenging disorders of the female lower urinary tract. This volume features scenario presentations in which a patient presentation is described and followed by two experts in the field reviewing work-up and management of the problem. The volume is divided into three, easy-to-follow sections. The first section, Evaluation, details the anatomy of pelvic support, the lower urinary tract, incontinency, and overactive bladders. The second section, Treatment, outlines treatments for stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, prolapse, and reconstruction. The third section includes case studies from various locales around the country, illustrating the proper techniques for the evaluation and treatment of problems relating to female urology.
Early Development of the Human Pelvic Diaphragm
A sound and detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the pelvic floor is of the utmost importance to gynecologists, obstetricians, surgeons, and urologists, since they all share the same responsibility in treating patients with different pathological conditions caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. The most common clinical expressions of pelvic floor dysfunction are urinary incontinence, anal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. Most often these clinical expressions are found in women, and they are briefly discussed below based on the outline presented in the Third International Consultation on Incontinence, a joint effort of the International Continence Society and the World Health Organization.
