Editorial Board
"This book, written by two of the
world's authorities on urinary disorders, is an excellent overview of
the management of the disorders of the pelvic floor, using a collaborative,
yet inclusive, approach. The authors have condensed a very broad field
into a readable, yet authoritative, text, which is comprehensive in its
inclusion of the spectrum of interventions for pelvic floor dysfunctions.
The unique merging of nursing and medical care to create a broad strategy
will benefit patients by emphasizing a step-wise, progressive group of
interventions. This is a must for those seeking a text which is truly
state of the art in its context."
Roger Dmochowski, M.D., Professor, Department of Urology, Vanderbilt
University Medical Center
"An outstanding piece written
by two of the foremost world's experts. This should form the foundation
for a very much needed ‘core curriculum’ in incontinence for
the primary care provider."
Matt T. Rosenberg, M.D.,
Director, Mid Michigan Health Centers and President, Urologic Health Foundation
"This is an outstanding
and comprehensive resource for both the new and experienced clinician
involved in continence care.… This book is packed with practical
information ranging from assessment instruments, care plans, patient education
handouts, to lists of support groups, consumer organizations, and product
manufacturers. It is highly recommended for nurses, physicians, physical
therapists, and occupational therapists involved in establishing continence
programs. It belongs in every long-term care facility and hospital."
Jean F. Wyman, Ph.D., A.P.R.N.,
GNP-BC, FAAN, Professor and Cora Meidl Siehl Chair in Nursing Research
and Director, Minnesota Continence Associates, University of Minnesota
School of Nursing
"This
second edition from two of the foremost thought leaders and innovators
in the field is extremely well written, and, not unexpectedly, quite thorough.
Upon completion of this text, not only will the reader have a command
of the diagnosis and management of urinary incontinence, but he will have
an appreciation of how these skills and knowledge can improve the suffering
and quality of life of those who are afflicted with this condition. Overall,
I highly recommend this text to anyone with an interest in, or who is
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence including
students, nurses, residents-in-training and other practitioners and allied
healthcare personnel."
-Eric S. Rovner, M.D., Professor of Urology, Medical University of
South Carolina
"This
second edition is a much needed update and contains the many advances
in the field of incontinence care. The authors address the subject with
expertise and experience while providing a unique guideline for assessment,
which can be applied to patients in any setting
. Treatment options
from the most simple behavioral to complex surgical are all-inclusive
and provide an excellent resource for providers, caregivers and students.
A 'must have' reference for anyone caring for the millions of people affected
by urinary incontinence!"

and Wound Services, Troy, NY
