Main description:

This text provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art review of complications related to surgical procedures for male urinary and fecal incontinence. As surgery has evolved over the decades, newer and at times unexpected intraoperative and long-term complications have arisen. Specialists who are unfamiliar with them need to know how to manage these specific complications and, more importantly, how to avoid them in the course of their future practice.

This volume provides an essential guide for all urologists, proctologists and surgeons operating on male patients with urinary and fecal incontinence.
