Urodynamic assessment of incontinence after prostatectomy.
There were 15 men with incontinence after prostatectomy who were assessed with a urethral pressure profile and a multichannel filling and voiding study with sphincter electromyography. Of these 15 patients 7 had sphincter weakness alone, 7 had sphincter weakness and detrusor hyperreflexia, and 1 had detrusor hyperreflexia alone. Full urodynamic assessment is essential before treatment can be recommended for incontinence after prostatectomy.
