Conservative treatment for postprostatectomy incontinence
Abstract
Postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a bothersome complication of radical prostatectomy. Although most men recover from PPI, some men continue to have persistent urinary incontinence. The initial management of persistent PPI usually consists of conservative measures such as pelvic floor muscle exercises. Surgical treatments are usually not entertained for men with urinary incontinence until conservative treatments have failed. This article discusses risk factors for PPI and various options for its treatment, including biofeedback and pharmacotherapy.
Keywords: Pelvic floor muscle training; Pelvic floor stimulation; Postprostatectomy incontinence; Radical prostatectomy.
