title: Etiology and method of radiologic assessment of male urinary incontinence.
abstract: Urinary incontinence presenting after iatrogenic or other trauma to the urethral sphincters is a distressing symptom for the patient and often a troublesome problem for a surgeon. Dynamic retrograde urethrography and voiding cystourethrography can greatly assist the urologist in determining the extent of the damage to the sphincters and thence selecting the appropriate treatment. We outline a method of urethrography for the assessment of male urinary incontinence, not previously described in the radiologic literature, to be used as a radiologic adjunct to clinical and urodynamic assessment.
