ABSTRACT: Introduction
To determine the clinical predictive factors affecting the recovery from postoperative urinary incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Materials and methods
We consecutively analyzed 320 patients who underwent RARP between January 2012 and March 2015. The restoration of urinary continence was defined as follows: the use of no pads/no leakage of urine or the use of a safety pad. Preoperative covariates were statistically assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate their predict factor to recovery of urinary incontinence. Therefore, in this study, we sought to identify predictors of early urinary continence status in a single-center retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent RARP.Results
Continence rates at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the catheter was removed were 44%, 71%, 83%, and 93%, respectively. Age, body mass index, and prostate volume had no significant association with urinary continence recovery. In contrast to this, longer preoperative membranous urethral length (MUL) was significantly associated with earlier postoperative continence recovery. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that longer preoperative MUL is significantly associated with continence recovery at 1 month (P = 0.0235).Conclusion
Approximately 70% of patients achieved urinary continence within 3 months after RARP. Multivariate analysis showed that age, body mass index, and prostate volume had no significant association with urinary continence recovery. Preoperative MUL assessed by magnetic resonance imaging was an independent predictor of early recovery from urinary incontinence after RARP.
