Post Prostatectomy Incontinence
نویسنده
چکیده
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 which differ from conservative to invasive surgical procedures. Slings and artificial urethral sphincters (AUS) are used more often than other procedures. Infection ratios and erosion of urethra are less frequent in AUS than in slings. Although AUS is the standard surgical procedure for severe urinary incontinence, slings may be used for severe male incontinence after prostatectomy due to the current development in sling materials.. Herein, we evaluate post prostatectomy urinary incontinence and treatments in the light of a review of current literature.(JAREM 2012; 2: 96-100)

Therefore, better surgical outcomes have been expected with RARP than with other surgical modalities. However, even in the RARP era, post-prostatectomy incontinence has a relatively high incidence as a bothersome complication....
