Abstract
True anatomical stress incontinence accounts for roughly 75% of all female urinary incontinence and should be relieved by a properly selected and executed surgical procedure. Approximately 25% of women who complain of uncontrollable loss of urine do not have anatomical stress incontinence, but one of several other conditions that may affect the mechanism of continence. These include urgency incontinence, bladder neuropathies, congenital or acquired urinary tract anomalies, psychogenic conditions, and detrusor dyssynergia. Careful differential evaluation of the various abnormalities leading to urinary incontinence is mandatory before instituting surgical correction.
The reference list at the end of this chapter is intended as a guide to further reading, not as a comprehensive set of references to the original literature.
