Short-Term Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prostatectomy Is Still Based on Patients' Age, Nerve-Sparing Approach, and Surgical-Experience, Despite the Higher-Use of Robotic Surgery in 2022 Compared to 2016 Real-World Results of a Large Rehabilitation Center in Germany.

Background: Despite constant improvements, incontinence is one of the most relevant and quality-of-life-reducing side effects of radical prostatectomy (RP) and, in addition to patient-specific factors such as age, the experience of the surgeon/center and the surgical technique used play an important role.

Aims: To present current real-world data on short-term incontinence after RP from one of the largest German rehabilitation centers in 2022 and to compare it to the results from the same institution in 2016.

Methods And Results: Retrospective, unicentric, univariate analysis of data from 1394 men after RP in 2022 on admission and discharge from the rehabilitation clinic.

[Urinary stress incontinence after radical prostatectomy in treatment reality : Results of a rehabilitation clinic-2009 compared to 2016].

Purpose: Based on the work of Lent et al., the aim of this study was to compare and to evaluate the 2009 outcomes of maintaining continence after radical prostatectomy (rp) with those of patients from 2016.

Patients And Methods: The data of all patients who underwent follow-up treatment 1 to 8 weeks after rp in 2016 (n = 1392) were evaluated by quantitative measuring all day incontinence under a defined graduation and compared to the results of 2009 (n = 1750).
