title: Geriatric urogynecology.
abstract: Urinary incontinence, a common morbid, and costly phenomenon, is frequently viewed by both patient and clinician as an inevitable consequence of aging. However, we are learning that, with careful evaluation and therapy, incontinence can be improved or even cured in a high percentage of cases. The benefits of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic programs to both patient and society are highly significant.
