文摘

In the largest epidemiological survey on urinary incontinence in women worldwide, 28,000 women were enrolled in the Norwegian EPICONT study and 25 % reported involuntary micturition. The incidence of incontinence was higher with increasing age. The age composition of our population is drastically changing. In 2005, 19 % of the population was older than 65 years and by 2020 this is expected to reach 23 %. The high prevalence of continence and pelvic floor problems in women indicates a key role and a promising potential for the subspecialty urogynecology in healthcare in the near future, similar to that of oncology. Against this background it is evidently crucial to establish the subspecialty urogynecology as the fourth pillar of gynecology in Germany as has already been established in Switzerland and at the European level by the European Board & College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG).
