Excerpted from the Textbook of the Neurogenic Bladder, Essential Guide to the Neurogenic Bladder provides information on two topics essential to the practicing clinician: evaluation and treatment. Giving the reader easy access to the diagnostic armamentarium, this well-illustrated text provides the examining physician with excellent guidelines for conducting thorough, efficient, and beneficial examinations of both adults and children using a variety of instruments and tests. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment options are written by experts from around the globe and should invariably help the reader to choose the best treatments for optimal results.

This up-to-the-minute reference provides comprehensive coverage of the male and female sphincteric mechanisms and their connection to the pelvic floor as well as upper and lower urinary tract function-emphasizing modern approaches to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of abnormalities including incontinence, hypertonicity, retention, dyssynergia, and the overactive sphincter. Highlights state-of-the-art clinical, urodynamic, electrophysiological, and imaging techniques such as ultrasonographic explorations of the female urethra! Detailing lifestyle interventions, physiotherapy, disposable devices, and pharmacological therapeutics, The Urinary Sphincter covers observations in embryology and infancy that contribute to pathological phenomena in adults genital prolapse in females recent developments in the engineering and the mechanisms of action of artificial sphincters, stents, and slings, as well as surgery, injectible techniques, and various sling procedures neuromodulation and neurostimulation of urethrovesical function contemporary surgical approaches for coordinated bladder function reports from the International Continence Society on the methodology, standardization of terminology, and complications related to urethrovesical function and dysfunction and more! Furnishing practical algorithms and nearly 3000 useful references, tables, equations, photographs, and drawings, The Urinary Sphincter is an invaluable and authoritative source for urologists, gynecologists, neurologists, physiatrists, physiologists, pharmacologists, physiotherapists, and medical students in these disciplines.

Overactive Bladder: Practical Management provides urologists, gynecologists and other health practitioners with a comprehensive clinical guide to this very common problem, resulting in a perfect resource to consult time and time again. Beginning with an introductory section covering the definition and pathophysiolgy of OAB, it then moves on to cover evaluation, first-line management, second-line management and finally surgery. Well-illustrated throughout, each chapter begins with a key points box outlining the most important take-home messages.  Also included are clear management algorithms to aid decision-making, 'Do's and Don't' boxes to help avoid errors made, key references to the top journal articles, and the very latest guidelines from the EAU, AUA and other major urology societies.  Chapters are written by the top names in the field and the entire book is expertly edited by Jacques Corcos, John Heesakkers and Scott MacDiarmid.  The result is a consistent, comprehensive and fully up to date approach to OAB, providing urologists managing patients with this condition with rapid access, specialist clinical guidance.
