  • Title: Surgical treatment for female geriatric incontinence.
    Author: Schmidbauer CP, Chiang H, Raz S.
    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 1986 Nov; 2(4):759-76. PubMed ID: 3536061.
    Abstract:
    Surgery may be the most effective treatment for incontinence in the elderly female patient. Today, most of these incontinent patients are cured with surgery using the transvaginal approach, an access at low risk (especially for the geriatric female population). Surgery for stress urinary incontinence of all grades is established; however, surgical treatment for urge incontinence due to bladder instability is still controversial.
