The study aimed to assess how preoperative pelvic floor EMG parameters could predict the risk of urinary incontinence following prostate cancer surgery.
Data from 271 prostate cancer patients were analyzed, focusing on various factors including age, BMI, and pelvic floor EMG scores to identify independent risk factors for early postoperative urinary incontinence.
Results indicated that 81.9% of patients regained urinary control post-surgery, with advanced age and low fast muscle EMG scores being significant predictors of urinary incontinence.
