    L'incontinence urinaire féminine est une pathologie fréquente à l'origine de nombreuses consultations médicales. De très nombreux facteurs favorisants ont été identifiés : surpoids, âge, grossesse et accouchement, obstacle sur les voies urinaires, certains médicaments, maladies neurologiques… Cet ouvrage a ainsi pour ambition d'en dresser un panorama complet, tout en restant volontairement pratique pour permettre un accès rapide à l'information. Il aborde tous les aspects, du diagnostic au traitement. Une première partie décrit les généralités indispensables à maîtriser (anatomie, physiologie, épidémiologie, physiopathologie). La stratégie diagnostique et de prise en charge est ensuite longuement détaillée (consultation, catalogue mictionnel, imagerie, bilan urodynamique...). Les traitements font l'objet de la troisième partie (traitements médicamenteux, rééducation, indications des différentes techniques chirurgicales...). Enfin, les cas particuliers sont également abordés (obésité, ménopause, après cancer...) pour un une approche de la pathologie dans sa totalité. L'équipe d'auteurs est pluridisciplinaire regroupant des gynécologues-obstétr... des urologues, des sages-femmes, des médecins de médecine physique et réadaptation et des kinésithérapeutes, tous experts dans leurs domaines. Cet ouvrage qui se veut didactique, exhaustif et pratique s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens expérimentés cherchant des précisions, qu’aux internes ayant besoin de parfaire leurs compétences. Xavier Deffieux est professeur des universités (Université Paris Sud), praticien hospitalier et responsable de l'unité fonctionnelle de chirurgie gynécologique à l'Hôpital Béclère de Clamart.
