Retrograde leak point pressure correlates with 24 h pad weight for assessing post prostatectomy incontinence

The correlation between retrograde leak point pressure and 24-hour pad weight.

AIM To assess the correlation between retrograde leak point pressure (RLPP) and 24-hr pad weight (24PW) in men with post-prostatectomy incontinence. METHODS We performed RLPP and 24PW measurements on 61 patients with a history of post-prostatectomy stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We examined the relationship of RLPP and 24PW. We also reviewed the urodynamic and clinical data of these patie...

Post Prostatectomy Incontinence

Urinary incontinence after prostatectomy for malignant and/or benign prostatic diseases is one of the most serious complications. Urinary incontinence occurs rarely after prostatectomy for benign diseases. However, it may occur more commonly after radical prostatectomy. These complications affect the patient’s quality of life. Treatment of incontinence due prostatectomy includes several methods...

Post-prostatectomy Incontinence Initial Evaluation

Quantifying the natural history of post-radical prostatectomy incontinence using objective pad test data

BACKGROUND Urinary incontinence (UI) following radical prostatectomy is a well-recognized risk of the surgery. In most patients post-operative UI improves over time. To date, there is limited objective, quantitative data on the natural history of the resolution of post-prostatectomy UI. The purpose of this study was to define the natural history of post radical prostatectomy incontinence using ...

Clinical Factors Associated with Low Valsalva Leak Point Pressure Among Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive factors that are associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) in women. METHODS Between January 2008 and December 2009, 185 women with urodynamically proven SUI were included in this study and retrospectively reviewed the medical record. Preoperative SUI symptoms were classified b...
