Surgical Management of Female Voiding Dysfunction.
Surgical intervention for female voiding dysfunction is common, involving a single or multifaceted approach affecting multiple organ systems in the pelvis. Surgical success relies on knowledge of surgical history, anatomic approaches, and judicious use of supports or materials. Owing to the varied repairs used over the last few decades, it is important for the general surgeon to understand both current and historic approaches. This understanding will help in planning future pelvic surgery as well as in evaluating current ramifications of prior surgery.
