Risk of Urinary Incontinence following Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract
Of 143 prostatic cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy 38 had undergone transurethral resection of the prostate before the prostatectomy. After radical prostatectomy 5% of the patients who did not have a resection and 8.1% of those who did were severely incontinent. This difference is not statistically significant.
