19th - 23rd January 2009 Annual Evidence Update on Urinary Incontinence

Introduction: Urinary Incontinence
By Alison Brading, Emeritus professor of Pharmacology, University Department of Pharmacology, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3QT

Urinary incontinence is normally not life-threatening, and yet may have a greater detrimental effect on the quality of life of those suffering from it than many more serious conditions. A great deal of literature is published yearly, and the aim of this annual evidence update is to direct attention to the relevant information gleaned from papers published about male and female urinary incontinence in recent years.
We have considered the more traditional pharmacological and surgical treatment of adult male and female stress and urge incontinence, including post-prostatectomy incontinence in men, and, as well as more conservative approaches now cover the rapidly growing use of botulinum toxin injected into the bladder wall as a treatment for urge incontinence.
We hope that this will provide a useful source for busy clinicians, and will help to improve treatment of this devastating condition.
