title: An algorithm for the management of urinary stress incontinence.
abstract: An algorithm for the management of urinary incontinence in the female is presented. The performance of history, physical examination, and simple office bladder testing are reviewed. Patients are categorized into a complex group which require multi-channel urodynamic testing or a non-complex group which may proceed to surgical intervention without such testing. Indications for collagen injection and pubo-vaginal sling procedure are discussed.
