Continence Physiology and Male Stress Incontinence Pathophysiology

  • Chapter
Male Stress Urinary Incontinence

Abstract

Neurophysiologic function of the continence mechanism in the male has been largely focused on voiding difficulties and directed to explore the obstruction instead of incontinence. Over the past 20 years, much has been elucidated about the pathophysiology of male SUI. As improved diagnostic modalities have provided new insight into the function and dysfunction of the urethral continence mechanism, theories have evolved from being purely anatomic to being both functional and anatomic.
