Tubular cystourethroneostomy after total prostatectomy.

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Surgical Innovation

Background:

• Radical prostatectomy can lead to urinary incontinence.
• Cystourethroneostomy is a reconstructive surgical option.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of tubular cystourethroplasty after radical prostatectomy.
• To assess the management of post-operative stress incontinence.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 14 patients undergoing tubular cystourethroplasty.
• Evaluation of continence outcomes and incontinence management.

Main Results:

• 12 out of 14 patients achieved urinary continence.
• 2 patients experienced temporary stress incontinence.
• Electrostimulation successfully treated temporary stress incontinence.

Conclusions:

• Tubular cystourethroplasty is an effective procedure for achieving continence post-radical prostatectomy.
• Pelvic floor electrostimulation offers a successful treatment for temporary stress incontinence.
