Background:
The most frequent complication in subjects of a radical prostatectomy (RP) is represented by urinary incontinence (UI), which can arise following the destruction of the pelvic floor muscles.
Objectives:
The aim of this retrospective analysis was to assess the effect of Flat Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) in treating male stress urine incontinence (SUI) following RP.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 40 patients affected by SUI after RP, with a mean age of 56.8 (± 5.7) years old, underwent eight sessions with FMS. The Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7) was administered from baseline up to 3 months of follow-up (3MFU) after the last treatment session. All possible adverse events were retrospective analysed.
Results:
The analysis demonstrates that the scores for each individual questionnaire item decreased from baseline up to 3MFU after the last treatment session, leading to a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the total IIQ-7 median score from 71.35 (66.6-76.11) at baseline to 28.54 (38.05-23.78) at 3MFU after the last treatment session. No adverse events were recorded over the whole course of treatment. Conclusions: Our findings reveal that this technology may serve as a convenient and alternative treatment option for stress-caused urinary incontinence following RP.

01:13Introduction to Urinary System
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneal space, on either side of the vertebral column, between the T12 and L3 vertebrae. They are partially protected by the rib cage and surrounded by perirenal fat, which provides cushioning. They are responsible for urine formation and play critical roles in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and hormone production. The ureters...
