Summary

The researchers investigated whether endoscopic retrograde urethral interventions applied for various reasons after radical prostatectomy (RP) operation cause a change in urinary incontinence (UI) level, and if there is a change, whether it changes according to the endoscopic procedure time and the endoscopic instrument used.

Detailed description

Localized prostate cancer is usually treated with RP. The most common complications after RP are erectile dysfunction (ED) and UI. After RP, some patients may require retrograde endoscopic urethral intervention. In this study, researchers investigated whether there is a change in the UI level in patients that underwent retrograde urethral intervention after RP and whether this change was affected by the duration of the procedure and type of endoscopic device used. Methods: Eighteen patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on the endoscopic device used: group 1 rigid cystoscopy, group 2 flexible cystoscopy, and group 3 semi-rigid ureterorenoscopy (URS). The Turkish version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the number of pads used daily was questioned before the endoscopic procedure and 1 month after the procedure.

Conditions

• Prostate Cancer
• Incontinence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	endoscopic surgical intervention	The researchers investigated whether endoscopic surgical procedures performed due to various indications (hematuria, urinary tract stone, suspected bladder mass) in the patient group who had undergone radical prostatectomy, caused a change in urinary incontinence level. The researchers divided the endoscopic instruments used into 3 groups and evaluated whether there was a difference in urinary incontinence level between rigid cystoscope, flexible cystoscope and ureterorenoscope groups.
