Post-prostatectomy incontinence is common, with risk factors like age and pre-existing dysfunction. Management involves various therapies, aiming to reduce incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) presents a significant challenge.
  • Ascertaining the precise incidence rate of PPI is complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common risk factors for post-prostatectomy incontinence.
  • To outline current management strategies for PPI.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature regarding prostatectomy types and associated incontinence.
  • Analysis of common risk factors irrespective of surgical approach or disease nature.

Main Results:

  • Key risk factors include pre-existing detrusor and/or sphincter dysfunction, increasing age, and surgical expertise.
  • Management options encompass behavioral techniques, pharmacologic therapy, surgical intervention, and supportive measures.

Conclusions:

  • No definitive preventive measures are currently established for PPI.
  • Reducing the incidence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence remains a primary goal.
