Surgical management of urinary incontinence in older women

Abstract

The aim of this review is to present an overview of the management of urge urinary incontinence and stress urinary incontinence. The evaluation of incontinence and options for surgical management of both urge and stress urinary incontinence will be presented. In the last decade, new minimally invasive surgical options have reduced the morbidity of anti-incontinence procedures without sacrificing outcomes and, in some cases, have improved outcomes.
