A valuable resource for the health care practitioner treating patients with incontinence and prolapse, Pessaries in Clinical Practice provides a comprehensive review of the evidence concerning pessaries and the practicalities of using them. With a brief history of pessaries, the authors provide profiles of the inventors of some of the more commonly used pessaries along with a description of their original purposes. The body of the book gives evidence supporting use of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence. It goes on to discuss the practical issues involved with the selection, fitting and care of the most popular pessaries. A significant proportion of the book contains illustrations to guide selection, fitting and care as well as providing materials which could be photocopied to be handed out to patients. This work is an essential quick-reference handbook for all urogynecologists, urologists, gynecologists, family physicians and specialty nurses.
Addressing the most commonly asked questions about incontinence, this accessible reference discusses causes, types of incontinence, and how the condition is diagnosed. The wide range of treatment options is introduced, from pelvic floor therapy and bladder training to electrical stimulation, medications, and surgeries. Eleven million women in the U.S. are coping with urinary incontinence—half of whom are too embarrassed to discuss the matter with their doctors—and this guidebook provides encouragement, showing that in more than 80 percent of cases, treatment can improve or even cure the problem.
The subject of this book is to improve the treatment of children with anorectal malformations. Since the last edition was published in 1988, the treatment of this frequent disease has changed very much. A new surgical treatment was introduced by Alberto Pena and edited in Atlas of Surgical Management of Anorectal Malformations by Springer in 1965. Many genetic and embryological studies have been performed, which improve our recent knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of this malformation. The diagnostic techniques too changed very much. A number of syndroms combined with anorectal atresia were detected. In the present book for the first time rules concerning the postoperative follow up and management will be discussed.
This compassionate guide for professionals and patients covers the assessment, management, and treatment of this often undiagnosed and neglected problem. Newman utilizes over 18 years of experience in continence care to provide simple guidelines on alleviating this condition, including eliminating caffeine of alcohol, and practicing pelvic floor muscle exercises. With the aid of therapies, medications, surgeries, and devices, patients and their loved ones can overcome the stigma of this common condition. Urogynecology in Primary Care provides a clear and concise resource for primary care providers interested in the most rapidly growing area of women’s healthcare: urogynecology and female pelvic health. It offers an approachable, yet in-depth reference on the core topics - female incontinence, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction - specifically tailored to clinicians without formal surgical or specialty training. These complex subjects are distilled into a clinically useful guide, providing primary care providers with all of the tools necessary to begin managing these conditions in a cost-effective and time-efficient way. Each aspect of diagnosis and treatment is presented in a clear and simple style, introducing streamlined strategies that can be implemented in any primary care setting. Original illustrations, key points at the end of each chapter, and ‘clinical pearls’ from experts in the field all help to make Urogynecology in Primary Care the most practical and user-friendly guide available.
There has been an increase in litigation due to a failure of recognition of anal sphincter tears and inappropriate management. This aims to clarify and graphically demonstrate perineal anatomy and explain the pathophysiology of anal incontinence as well as applied pharmacology. It also institutes the new recommended classification of perineal tears and describes the various anal sphincter repair techniques. The emphasis is placed on the correct post-operative management, management of a subsequent pregnancy following previous anal sphincter injury and prevention of anal sphincter tears as an important issue that has not been given due consideration previously. The authors also focus on medical/legal implications in order to introduce safe medical practice. The book will mostly be of interest to trainees and consultants, colorectal surgeons, physiotherapists, midwives, continence advisors, labour wards and lawyers.
