[Management of male urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy (CTMH AFU 2006-1/5): incidence and role of urodynamic assessment and electromyography].
The incidence of postprostatectomy urinary incontinence varies according to the technique used, over time and according to the type of management, with an incidence at one year ranging from just a few percent to more than 60%. Assessment is required in the case of persistent disabling urinary incontinence despite well conducted perineal rehabilitation one year after surgery or earlier in the case of severe incontinence. Urodynamic assessment is the essential examination to quantify urethral closure pressure. A review of the literature of urodynamic assessment and electromyography is presented.
