Incontinence: Minimally Invasive Therapies is a book which effectively uses a multidisciplinary approach to assist health professionals in their care of patients with urinary and fecal 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. Incontinence affects 1 billion people (anal and urinary), with most being women. It is underreported, but as more specialisation is occurring in the diagnostic and treatment field, teams are establishing themselves. Incontinence: Minimally Invasive Therapies provides an important guide for new teams establishing these groups and refine already established groups. Incontinence: Minimally Invasive Therapies is of benefit to family physicians/general practitioners, nurses, urologists, gynaecologists, physiotherapists, geriatricians, neurologists and rehabilitation specialists.
