Article Synopsis
- Radical prostatectomy (RP) can lead to stress urinary incontinence post-surgery, but techniques like preserving neurovascular bundles and performing posterior reconstruction can improve recovery.
- A study at the University Clinical Center of Serbia involved 192 patients and tracked their continence recovery at various intervals up to 24 months, measuring how many pads they used daily.
- Results showed that patients with urethral suspension and those retaining neurovascular bundles had significantly higher continence rates compared to those without these techniques, with urethral suspension being the most impactful factor for a successful recovery.
Penile cancer (PC) is a highly aggressive disease, with a significant tendency for lymphatic spreading and subsequent development of distant metastases. The mutilating nature of PC surgical treatment has profound implications on the patient's body integrity and self-image, sexual life and intimacy, voiding and mental health. The aim of our study was to comprehensively evaluate PC patients' post-treatment quality of life (QoL), sexual activity, self-esteem, fatigue and fear of disease recurrence.
