Emphasizing the clinical problems surrounding urogenital tract dysfunction, this up-to-date reference details the basic science, differential diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of neurourological conditions.
Covering recent advances in the neurobiology of the pelvic organs, the Handbook of Neuro-Urology
reviews the neural control processes that govern pelvic organs
discusses the pathogenic mechanisms behind neurological and smooth muscle disorders that produce bladder dysfunction
describes the management of impaired bladder, bowel, and sexual function after brain damage and spinal cord injury
examines various conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system and specifically result in bladder and sexual dysfunction
investigates lower urinary tract function in the elderly
suggests practical measures to manage urinary incontinence such as the use of pads, underpants, and appliances
and more!
