title: [Urinary incontinence after prostatic surgery].
abstract: The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence after prostatic surgery for benign disease is 0-2% and 5-35% after surgery for malignant disease. After radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer spontaneous improvement of stress incontinence occurs up to 1 year after surgery. Medical treatment with doloxetine (a serotonine-noradrenaline-reuptake inhibitor) and minimal invasive treatments like urethral bulking and male sling procedures are only effective against minor stress incontinence. Implantation of artificial urethral sphincter prosthesis remains gold standard for effective treatment and lasting effect.
