Intravesical prostatic protrusion as a predictor of early urinary continence recovery after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

Abstract

These findings suggest that the likelihood of postoperative urinary incontinence in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is markedly higher in those with larger intravesical prostatic protrusion, and that intravesical prostatic protrusion is correlated with the duration of postoperative urinary incontinence.
