Key Clinical Trials in Incontinence

The last two decades have witnessed significant developments in the treatment of incontinence in both male and female patients. Prior to this, treatment options were on the whole restricted to a small number of standard surgical procedures. However recent advances in clinical pharmacology have brought about an increasingly broad range of therapeutic options. This book contains analysis of some of the key clinical trials that have influenced our approach to the treatment of incontinence. Each trial is judged on it strengths and weaknesses and a diagrammatic summary of the trial design and key results are included. As well as the original publication reference, other key papers are also listed. This concise and insightful resource provides an ideal overview of the major developments in the field of incontinence for both trainee and practising clinicians. For the first time, the key trials that make up the cornerstone of research and practice in incontinence have been brought together in a single volume and benefit from the critical analysis of two of the leading authorities in this field
