Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men is a debilitating condition and often can be the result of prostate surgery, in particular from a radical prostatectomy (open, laparoscopic or robotically assisted). With on average 10% of all patients post prostatectomy still experiencing stress incontinence by 12 months, and the ever-increasing incidence of prostate cancer worldwide, this has become a significantly worsening issue that urologists, nurses and advanced care practitioners are faced with.

Yet despite the rising incidence and morbidity, seen both in primary care, muti-disciplinary teams within hospitals, as well as increasing numbers of dedicated teaching courses on this matter, this topic remains poorly taught within the medical field overall and knowledge is often limited to a small group of specialists within each region.

This book is aimed at all doctors, students, and allied health care professionals with an interest in male incontinence and will provide a concise, yet comprehensive, overview in the field of incontinence surgery in men, and can also be used in adjunct to any teaching courses offered on male SUI. This book aims to be the most up-to-date gold standard reference book for male SUI. 

This book will initially lay the foundation for knowledge by going through the pathophysiology, diagnostics and anatomy of male incontinence. This will be enhanced by hand drawn pictures of the relevant regions of interest to aid in learning.  

After building this base of knowledge, the book will move into diagnostics, patient selection and treatment (both surgical and non-surgical). 

Each chapter will be written by healthcare professionals who are world leaders within each field, uniquely will contain their “top tips and tricks” from their extensive experience within male SUI and will have key points in addition to MCQ Flashcards to help aid in learning.
