The male lower urinary tract is well adapted to the rigors of everyday life in providing an effective lowpressure storage organ and a sophisticated, relatively trouble-free sphincter mechanism. The majority of male incontinence cases encountered presently are related to prostate pathology, many being due to sphincteric weakness following radical surgery. This review article will discuss the anatomy and neurophysiology of the lower urinary tract in the male and the causes, evaluation, and management of incontinence.
