A new operation for post-prostatectomy incontineance.
A new surgical treatment for post-prostatectomy incontinence is described. The intact urogenital diaphragm and a peripheral elastic resistance are the two most essential factors to assure continence. In addition to stabilizing the urogenital diaphragm, an elastic peripheral resistance is created by this technique. Contience is achieved by imbedding the urethra between the two corpora cavernosa and followed by median rotation and adaptation of the ischiocavernosi muscles. The proof of continence is given urodynamically by the function urethral profile.
