Conservative management for post-prostatectomy incontinence shows uncertain benefits. More high-quality trials are needed to determine the effectiveness of treatments like pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pelvic Health
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence is a frequent complication following prostatectomy.
  • Conservative management options include pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of conservative management strategies for urinary incontinence after various types of prostatectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized trials up to January 1999.
  • Searches included multiple databases and conference proceedings.
  • Data extracted and quality assessed by two independent reviewers.

Main Results:

  • Five moderate-quality randomized trials involving 365 men were identified, all focusing on radical prostatectomy.

  • Limited data were available for many outcomes, with wide confidence intervals.
  • Improvements in incontinence symptoms were observed over time, regardless of treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • The efficacy of conservative management for post-prostatectomy incontinence remains unclear.
    • Further well-designed clinical trials are required to establish effective treatment protocols.
