Postoperative Cystogram Findings Predict Incontinence Following Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

Postprostatectomy bladder neck location defined by the BNPS ratio on cystogram correlates with continence rates and may predict patients at risk for prolonged incontinence. Efforts designed to preserve support of the bladder neck and sphincteric complex in relation to the pubic symphysis may improve both early and late continence.
