Multidisciplinary Care of Urinary Incontinence - a Handbook for Health Professionals effectively uses a multidisciplinary approach to assist health professionals in their care of patients with urinary incontinence.

Multidisciplinary Care of Urinary Incontinence - a Handbook for Health Professionals effectively uses a multidisciplinary approach to assist health professionals in their care of patients with urinary incontinence. It is recognized that the best outcomes are achieved by a multidisciplinary team approach especially with regard to complex cases and care of the elderly. This book is written by expert authors from around the world with a wealth of experience in conducting clinics on pelvic floor, aged care voiding dysfunction and neuro-rehabilitation. The text is illustrated throughout and contains case-studies with input and practical tips from the different health disciplines at each point. Each chapter concludes with a list of seminal publications and web-based resources to assist the reader in the clinical environment.  Multidisciplinary Care of Urinary Incontinence - a Handbook for Health Professionals is of benefit to medical and allied health disciplines including family physicians, nurses, urologists, gynecologists, physiotherapists, geriatricians, neurologists and rehabilitation specialists.

Urinary incontinence is a significant health problem. Patients may come under the care of many different health professionals including family physicians/general practitioners, nurses, urologists, gynaecologists, physiotherapists, geriatricians, neurologists and rehabilitation specialists. It is recognized that the best outcomes are achieved by a multidisciplinary team approach especially with complex cases and in the elderly.There are many texts on urinary incontinence written for urology or urogynaecology specialists but relatively little work aimed at the level of primary care providers. We have assembled a team of clinicians who have a track record of multidisciplinary care of patients with incontinence. The authors regularly conduct multidisciplinary pelvic floor, aged care voiding dysfunction and neurourology, rehabilitation and transition care clinics in their institutions. The concepts of assessment and principles of management are illustrated in common case examples with input and practical tips from the different health disciplines at each point. There is a useful list of links to resources in print/electronic media and seminal papers at the end of each chapter for the reader for easy reference.The First Edition of our book was published in 2012 and whilst the key concepts and chapter plan remain relevant to the current clinical practice environment, the Second Edition incorporate important updated clinical practice changes and address gaps with inclusion of a new chapter on the Paediatric/adolescent patient.

There is increasing interest in using ultrasound for assessment of pelvic floor disorders such as voiding dysfunction , pelvic organ prolapse and faecal incontinence. Ultrasound can also be a useful imaging modality for urodynamics and pelvic floor physiotherapy. Whilst ultrasound equipment is widely available around the world many clinicians may not have access to structured training in the technique of pelvic floor imaging and interpretation of images in the context of pelvic floor dysfunction. This book aims to provide the reader with the knowledge and skills to start utilising ultrasound imaging in assessment of pelvic floor disorders. The authors comprise the three surgical disciplines (urology, colorectal surgery and gynaecology) who commonly manage pelvic floor problems and have subspecialty expertise in pelvic floor imaging. They have conducted workshops in Australia, Asia, UK and USA  and are advocates for clinican-performed ultrasound.
