title: [Urinary continence after radical prostatectomy: importance of the vesico-urethral anastomosis. Objective evaluation].
abstract: Urinary continence after radical prostatectomy is frequently evaluated subjectively. The authors describe their technique of vesicourethral anastomosis and report their method of objective evaluation of postoperative urinary continence. At the 6th postoperative week, 15% of patients presented with severe incontinence. This percentage fell to 3.3% by the 16th postoperative week.
