Overview:

Incontinence in women is prevalent, has great impact on the quality of life, and is managed with behavioral, pharmacologic and/or surgical therapy. The evaluation includes identification of co-committant pelvic floor disorders. Evidence-based treatment mandates best clinical practice. A multimodal management model for stress and urge incontinence as well as pelvic floor disorders restores pelvic floor function. Successful surgical therapy for stress incontinence requires the reconstruction of all site specific pelvic floor defects. A comprehensive approach to evaluation and management will be presented.

Objectives: After attending this course, the participants should be able to:

• define and diagnose stress and urge incontinence
• describe the significance of pelvic floor disorders as they relate to incontinence
• manage stress and urge incontinence, as well as pelvic floor comorbidities
• measure the level of evidence for diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available for incontinence in women
