Urinary Incontinence After Prostate Cancer Surgery

Incontinence that can occur in some patients after prostate cancer surgery is an evaluable and treatable condition.

Incontinence after radical prostatectomy may decrease over time; in cases where it is persistent, quality of life can be improved with options such as pelvic floor rehabilitation and, when needed, an artificial urinary sphincter. The plan is made by the degree of incontinence.

Who Is It For?

• Patients with persistent incontinence after prostate surgery
• Cases whose quality of life is affected

How Is It Performed?

First the degree and type of incontinence are assessed; then a step-by-step plan ranging from rehabilitation to surgical options is created.

Recovery & Follow-up

Improvement may be seen over time with rehabilitation; surgical options are considered in persistent cases.
