From the reviews:

"Fifteen contributors from disciplines involved in continence care have written this concise, but comprehensive, handbook intended as a resource for all health care professionals looking after patients with urinary incontinence. ... This handbook does very well in what it sets out to achieve: a well-presented, clear resource of current assessment and management of urinary incontinence. Its key feature is the direct clinical relevance of its layout of the topic chapters which are informative, easy to read and extremely well illustrated." (Hugh Greenland, Australian and New Zealand Continence Journal, Vol. 19 (3), 2013)
