[Pelvic floor insufficiency as an interdisciplinary responsibility].

Weakness of the pelvic floor is in the majority a disease of women. The most frequent complaints are urinary incontinence and visceral descent. The usual methods of gynaecological and urological operations to cure these impairments are demonstrated. Because several patients with a lax pelvic floor suffer from anorectal incontinence a simultaneous interdisciplinary treatment is proposed.
