Les fonctions sphinctériennes = Sphincter functions
This book on Sphincter functions provides an update on a very topical subject, urinary and anal incontinence. Divided into three parts, it first deals with fundamental aspects, whether anatomical, physiological or clinical. The explorations of the various urinary and anorectal functions are described with electrophysiological, manometric, urodynamic tests as well as imaging. The second part is devoted to the pathology with all the dysfunctions that we encounter in daily practice. Urinary and anal incontinence, dysuria and retention, neurological sphincter disorders, dysfunctions in pregnant women and children are discussed. The last part takes stock of treatments, whether pharmacological, rehabilitative or surgical. This work, which contains a considerable amount of information, will undoubtedly be of interest to many medical specialists (physicians in physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurologists, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, general practitioners, pediatricians), surgeons (urologists, gynecological surgeons, surgeons). digestive) whether they are in training or already involved in the management of perineal disability. Other health professionals will find reference material there (nurses, physiotherapists, midwives).
Complex Anorectal Disorders : Investigation and Management
Book has focused on the broad structural investigation of the anorectum and on the focused management of largely “functional” problems. And it has done so in style. For this is a core area of specialist practice;your more general colleagues may think twice before referring you new cases of cancer and in?ammatory bowel disease (both also central areas in colorectal surgery), but they will not hesitate in referring the patients whose inves- gation and management are described here. And they will expect you to know how to deal with them. These are some of the most challenging patients to manage. Rightly have the editors covered the physiological areas,rightly the psychological issues, rightly the medicolegal aspects: here is the making of a specialist—the sword and the shield.
Benign anorectal diseases : Diagnosis with endoanal and endorectal ultrasound and new treatment options
New three-dimensional endoanal and endorectal ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging techniques have given better insight into the complex anatomy of the pelvic floor and its pathologic modification in benign anorectal diseases. Obstetrical events leading to fecal incontinence in females, the relationship between fistulous tracks and the sphincter complex, and mechanisms of obstructed defecation syndrome can now be accurately evaluated, which is of fundamental importance for decision making.
Anorectal Malformations in Children : Embryology, Diagnosis, Surgical Treatment, Follow-up
The book assembles many new aspects in the broad field of anorectal and genitourinary malformations.

The results of an international workshop of 26 international authorities on congenital malformations of the organs of the pelvis and perineum are presented. The new classification proposed at the Krickenberg Conference will enable future studies comparing the types and the results of treatment of anorectal malformations.
A Seat on the Aisle, Please! : The Essential Guide to Urinary Tract Problems in Women
In this concise, clearly written, and sympathetic new book, Elizabeth Kavaler suggests that a new approach to UT disorders is long overdue. One of the surprisingly small number of female urologists practicing in the U.S., Dr. Kavaler explains what these diseases are and what patients can do to get themselves diagnosed and treated properly. But more than that, she extends an expert, sympathetic, and skilled hand to those who’ve been distressed, isolated, and embarrassed for too long.
