title: [Urinary incontinence after prostate surgery, Clinical, therapeutic and medico-legal aspects (author's transl)].
abstract: Operative damage to the sphincter apparatus below the uvula vesicae is the most serious complication of prostatic surgery. Responsible for more or less total urinary incontinence, sometimes associated with dysuria, it is very difficult to repair, whatever the technics now proposed. The psychological and social repercussions of this infirmity, the difficulty or impossibility of its repair explain the importance of the medico-legal problems raised when the surgeon is responsible.
