title: Incontinence in the elderly.
abstract: This year has seen many advances in the treatment of incontinence in the elderly, particularly the use of devices to control genuine stress incontinence and new drug treatments for detrusor instability to reduce side-effects and improve compliance. The results of existing surgical treatments for genuine stress incontinence have been evaluated more closely and newer techniques, which are less invasive and produce less morbidity, have been applied and evaluated in the elderly.
