Female incontinence: how much work-up is necessary?
Female incontinence at an age where it cannot be classified as a geriatric situation is a major problem for gynecologists and urologists. For several years both disciplines in Louvain have been working together in order to assess more precisely the indications for the different therapeutic possibilities and to evaluate results and failures of these therapies. This paper presents reflections on this experience together with comments on recent literature.
