Abstract
Designed to provide a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the use of urologic catheters and devices in clinical practice. Sections of the book have been structured to review the overall indication for the use of urologic catheters and devices, types available, complications and management. This text fills a critical need for resource materials on these topics. The book also includes highly practical presentations and of typical patients with catheters or devices seen in the clinical practice of geriatric urology, all in the form of case presentations with expert analysis and editorial commentary. Highlighting the integrated multidimensional aspects of care for urology patients, this book is unique in the inclusion of collaborating multidisciplinary authors who are all recognized experts in their field.

Abstract
The second edition of Pelvic Floor Re-education provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, along with other aspects of the clinical assessment and management of pelvic floor disorders. Starting with the latest theories on the anatomy, pathophysiology, and possible causes of pelvic floor damage, the importance of pelvic floor evaluation is looked at in order to determine the type of treatment required. Practical techniques of muscle assessment and investigative methodologies are reviewed and up-to-date information on anatomy and physiology is discussed. An algorithmic approach takes the reader through the options for clinical evaluation and treatment. Several re-education techniques are assessed for pelvic floor dysfunction, including isolated muscle exercise, vagina cones, biofeedback control, and electrical stimulation. This practical book is invaluable reading for all healthcare professionals working with incontinent patients, particularly urogynecologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and physiotherapists. It also provides a comprehensive but readable source for residents and trainees interested in the scientific and clinical fundamentals of pelvic floor re-education.
