Post prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a well-recognized and bothersome complication following radical prostatectomy. Conservative measures such as pelvic floor physical therapy, biofeedback, and medication are first line management of PPI.
To systematically review and synthesise what is known about the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical conservative interventions for the management of urinary incontinence (UI) experienced by women during physical exercise.
To explore the predictive value of preoperative pelvic floor electromyography (EMG) parameters for the risk of urinary incontinence after prostate cancer surgery.
This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 271 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in the urology department of Peking University First Hospital from January 2020 to October 2022.
This study aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics and predictors of long-term postoperative urinary incontinence (PUI) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
This study included patients who underwent RARP at our institution and were stratified into PUI (≥1 pad/day) and continence (0 pad/day) groups at 60 months after RARP.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). It has a great influence on the postoperative quality of life of patients. This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of low-frequency electrical pulse acupoint stimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle exercise in the treatment of UI after RP.
To predict early continence recovery following radical prostatectomy (RP) using baseline demographic and clinical data, as well as dynamic transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) parameters of membranous urethral length (MUL).
This study aims to establish the ability of the Uroflex® external artificial sphincter to reduce the severity of male urinary incontinence and improve the quality of life of patients with male urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence symptoms severely affect older people with different body mass index (BMI).To compare the efficacy of the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence with different BMI.
Introduction: Predicting postoperative incontinence beforehand is crucial for intensified and personalized rehabilitation after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Although nomograms exist, their retrospective limitations highlight artificial intelligence (AI)'s potential.
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a penile clamp in managing urinary incontinence (UI) and its impact on perceived quality of life (QoL) amongst post-prostatectomy patients.
A prospective pilot study was conducted including patients with post-prostatectomy UI treated with a penile clamp.
Although pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is widely shown to improve post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI), numerous barriers impede access to formal PFMT and include the limited availability of specialized therapists and financial or scheduling barriers.
Artificial intelligence (AI) shows immense potential in medicine and Chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) has been used for different purposes in the field. However, it may not match the complexity and nuance of certain medical scenarios.
To present the patient-reported QoL outcomes from a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing the use of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and duloxetine after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Patients with inguinal hernia (IH) may have voiding dysfunction and weak urethra-stabilizing periurethral fascial tissues, contributing to urinary incontinence. This study aimed to review the association between IH and urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
The objective was to investigate the current evidence and discern urinary continence rates post robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
A systematic review of the literature was carried out, searching the Embase, Scopus and PubMed databases between 1 January 2000 and 1 May 2020.
We investigated the correlation between surgical outcomes and postoperative urinary continence recovery in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Patients who underwent RARP in our institution (n = 195) were included in this study.
On the basis of previous analyses of the incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP), the hospital RP volume threshold in the Netherlands was gradually increased from 20 per year in 2017, to 50 in 2018 and 100 from 2019 onwards.
The use of healthcare insurance claims data for urinary incontinence (UI) pads has the potential to serve as an objective measure for assessing post-radical prostatectomy UI rates, but its validity for this purpose has not been established.
The diagnosis of Postprostatectomy Incontinence (PPI) relies heavily on expert opinions. Challenges in assessing and treating PPI arise due to limited robust evidence and the absence of a concise definition, resulting in diverse reported incidence rates.
