This chapter discusses continence. Bladder and bowel anatomy and physiology are complex, with continence being dependent on both intact anatomical structures and normal peripheral, autonomic, and central nervous system function. This chapter focuses on continence and incontinence, but with an emphasis towards the neurological substrates. Starting with the physiological considerations of normal bladder and bowel function, urinary incontinence is defined. The separate categories are then described, and pathophysiologies of bladder and bowel disorders are explained. Management of urinary problems are defined, including surgical interventions. Bowel incontinence is described, with common contributors (anatomical, neurology, and stool consistency) and management strategies outlined.
