The advances made in the last several years (including the fantastic technical modifications by Dr Gomez Sancha @fgomsan) have markedly improved the short term STRESS incontinence rates, this doesn’t speak at all to the urge related rate. In addition, this paper looks at patients over a 6 year period during which things may have changed
@DRAAA86@naeembhojani7@fgomsan tracking times is so important for improvement. Congratulations! TURP is certainly on life support and hospice is waiting to discuss outside
