[Diagnosis and treatment of overactive bladder, neurourology, urogynaecology and urinary stress incontinence: latest publications from 2009 and 2010].

The current review presents a summary of the most important manuscripts concerning the topics of overactive bladder, neurourology, genital prolapse and male and female urinary stress incontinence published in the year 2009 and the first 4 months of 2010 in peer-reviewed journals. The literature research was focussed on clinically relevant human studies with influence on diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of these diseases.Most of the published manuscripts focussed on the fields of overactive bladder and female urinary stress incontinence during the last 16 months. Some of the studies had very high evidence levels and confirmed new therapeutic strategies. Publications focussing on male urinary stress incontinence were of limited numbers in the year 2009 and did not change the clinical armamentarium significantly.
