Revisit The Correct Mechanism Of Urinary Incontinence For Surgical Intervention

Abstract

Urinary incontinence (UI) as one of the manifestations of pelvic floor disorder (PFD) or pelvic floor dysfunction has been surgically managed for decades with reconstruction of weakened pelvic floor support based on integral theory (IT). This paper provides the holistic understanding of pelvic floor support system based on the concept of defecatory perineal disorder (DFD) that may pose challenges to IT which believe weakened “ligaments” is the main cause in PFD.
