Abstract:

Postoperative incontinence is one of the most feared complications of radical prostatectomy with a major impact on patients’ quality of life. There are several ways to treat with the incontinence including pelvic floor muscle training and medication as the conservative treatment, nerve-sparing approach during the operation and the urethral sling and the artificial urinary sphincter placement as the operative treatment. The aim of this article is to evaluate the treatment stated above to provide some guidance to deal with post-prostatectomy incontinence.
