Materials And Methods: We prospectively registered the hashtags of eight international urology conferences taking place in 2013, using the social media metrics website, Symplur.com.

Early urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in older Australian men.

Objective: To compare the recovery of urinary continence (UC) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men aged ≥70 and <70 years at 1-year follow-up and to assess for preoperative predictors of UC recovery, as older, healthy men with localised prostate cancer are often denied curative surgical treatment on the grounds of worse UC recovery.

Patients And Methods: In all, 262 patients with prostate cancer having undergone RARP between May 2008 and September 2012, under the care of two consultant urological surgeons at three Melbourne hospitals, were identified. Patients were categorised based on their age ≥70 and <70 years and compared with regards to two endpoints; percentage fully continent and mean pads/day at 4-6 weeks, and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after RARP.
