In the researchers' words
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer between male population and urinary incontinence (UI) is the most common of long-term sequelae. Nowadays, robotic prostatectomy became the surgery standard but there is still discrepant results regards the incidence of UI and there is a lack of studies about the use of pelvic floor rehabilitation in this population. Our study aims to assesses the efficacy of preoperative educational method in urinary incontinence after robotic prostatectomy.
