The renaissance of female urethrovesical function

This paper constitutes a brief review of the physiological progress in female urethrovesical function which has occurred since the early 1950s. Special emphasis has been placed upon stress urinary incontinence. While progress has been made, the whole subject of female urethrovesical function needs to be re-explored with studies performed on adult females and not inferred from studies done upon adult males.Formerly of Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, USA
