    La chirurgie de l’incontinence urinaire et du prolapsus féminins est une intervention à la fois pratiquée par des chirurgiens gynécologues et des chirurgiens urologues. C’est une chirurgie fonctionnelle qui va prendre une place de plus en plus importante en raison de l’allongement de la durée de la vie, elle a d’ailleurs donné naissance à une nouvelle discipline chirurgicale, l’urogynécologie ou pelvi-périnéologie. Cet ouvrage aborde les principales interventions chirurgicales de l’incontinence et du prolapsus chez la femme et les déroule pas à pas : matériel et instrumentation, installation de la patiente, préparation préopératoire et soins péri et post-opératoires. Il évoque également sous l’angle de la chirurgie digestive les corrections du prolapsus du rectum comme la rectopexie ou la résection rectosigmoïdienne, offrant ainsi une lecture pluridisciplinaire complète. Cette nouvelle édition est une mise à jour complète des données chirurgicales, elle intègre les dernières innovations en termes de technique mais également de matériel et propose une iconographie largement renouvelée. Cet ouvrage qui se présente comme un outil d’aide à la décision, s’imposera sans aucun doute comme une référence pour les réunions pluridisciplinaires au cours desquels sont établis des protocoles de traitements.
