Abstract

Most patients presenting with idiopathic bladder instability and urge incontinence are managed by conservative therapy with anticholinergic medication, biofeedback, bladder retraining, and pelvic floor exercises. Bladder instability has a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life, and the success rate of conservative therapy has been poor. It has been estimated that 62.5% of surveyed patients with urge incontinence were “not satisfied” with currently available treatments.1, 2
