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.

Article Synopsis
  • - YouTube hosts a vast array of videos on radical prostatectomy, but a study aimed to evaluate their quality and usefulness for both patients and doctors, revealing a mixed picture regarding the reliability and medical content of these videos.
  • - Analyzing 179 selected videos from a total of 3,520 search results, researchers found that while the overall technical quality was high and reliability was good, the medical content was generally low and in need of careful vetting.
