A contemporary update on the management of male incontinence

摘要

Dear Colleagues,It is a great pleasure to introduce this edition of Current Opinion in Urology dealing with male incontinence. I would like to thank all of the authors for putting together such an interesting series of articles, which deals with the contemporary knowledge base relating to this important problem.Whilst incontinence in men is relatively uncommon, nevertheless, when it does occur, it has devastating consequences for the patient and this is well recognized. The epidemiology of male incontinence is reviewed in detail by Kari Tikkinen, Arnav Agarwal and Tomas Griebling (pp. 502-508). Clearly it is also essential to make an accurate diagnosis and this is reviewed, looking at the modalities that are available, by Helena Burden, Kate Warren and Paul Abrams (pp. 509-514).
