In the researchers' words
Urinary incontinence post radical prostatectomy is a well-recognized complication regardless of approach, with a potential negative impact on health-related quality of life. Although 12-month continence rates range from 85-95% in the literature, few patients are continent in the early postoperative period. It has been suggested that posterior reconstruction of the Denonvilliers' musculofascial plate, also known as the Rocco stitch, may improve early return to urinary continence, though clinical equipoise remains.
