Background: Pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is the most common conservative management for urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP). We performed this meta-analysis to investigate whether PFME during the entire perioperative period, including before and after RP, can significantly improve the recovery of postoperative UI.
Methods: We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCT) from PubMed, Medline, web of science, Cochrane library, and clinicalitrials.com prior to October 2022. Efficacy data were pooled and analyzed using Review Manager Version 5.3. Pooled analyses of urinary incontinence rates 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were conducted, using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: We included a total of 15 RCT studies involving 2178 patients received RP. Postoperative UI could be improved after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months, and the OR were 0.26 (95%CI:0.15-0.46) 0.30 (95%CI: 0.11-0.80) 0.20 (95%CI: 0.07- 0.56) in postoperative PFME group compared to no PFME group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in 12 months after surgery, and the OR was 0.85(95%CI: 0.48,1.51). There were similar results in perioperative PFME group compared to no PFME group with the OR of 0.35 (95%CI: 0.12, 0.98) and 0.40 (95%CI: 0.21, 0.75) in 1 and 3 months after surgery. Our results indicated no significant difference between perioperative PFME group and postoperative PFME group. The OR was 0.58 (95%CI: 0.20-1.71) 0.58 (95%CI:0.20-0.71) and 0.66 (95%CI: 0.32-1.38) in 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Conclusion: Application of PFME after RP significantly reduced the incidence of early postoperative UI, and additional preoperative PFME had no significant improvement on the recovery of UI.

Health Sciences Faculty, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, Ankara, Turkey.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) and spinal stabilization exercise (SSE) on urinary symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), quality of life (QoL), core stability, balance, spinal posture, and perception of subjective improvement (PSI) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: Patients were randomly divided into PFME (n = 25) and SSE (n = 25) groups. The exercises of both groups was applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks.

Article Synopsis
- Overactive bladder (OAB) is frequently observed in patients with multiple sclerosis, prompting the study to explore treatment options.* -
- The study involved 45 participants with MS who were assigned to three groups: one receiving biofeedback and pelvic floor exercises, another receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation and pelvic floor exercises, and a control group with only pelvic floor exercises.* -
- Both treatment methods showed improvement in bladder function, but there was no significant difference in outcomes between the groups; however, biofeedback was noted to be more effective than transcranial magnetic stimulation.*

Purpose: To explore the effectiveness of sling surgery followed by pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) or PFME alone for moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women and its influencing factors.
Methods: This is a prospective observational cohort study investigating whether sling surgery or PFME is preferred for pre-menopause women with moderate uncomplicated SUI. Those who received PFME alone or sling surgery were divided to PT or TVT group, respectively.

Objective: This study aims to assess the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) on urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP and other domestic and foreign databases were searched for published literature until December 2023 on the effect of pelvic muscle exercise on urinary incontinence in patients after radical prostatectomy. The retrieved literatures were screened, and data were extracted.
