This text provides a comprehensive, state – of – the art review of this new and emerging field, as the number of men who suffer from post-prostatectomy incontinence increases by greater than 10,000 per year.  How to evaluate and manage this devastating disorder has become a necessary part of nearly every urologic practice.  This book  serves a valuable resource for physicians with an interest in managing patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence.  In addition, treatment includes algorithms and suggested office evaluation that will help guide conservative management that is appropriate for most patients.
