Abstract Background After radical prostatectomy, the optimal length of postoperative catheterization time remains to be determined. This study investigates the impact of catheter removal time on urinary continence and overactive bladder symptoms after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods Two hundred and fifty consecutive patients underwent RARP by a single surgeon between November 2020 and May 2021. Time to catheter removal was categorized into 7, 10, and ≥ 14 days. Continence was defined as no more than 1 pad used or no more than 20 grams of urine leakage per 24 hours. The patients' continence rates and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) were assessed at 48 hours, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after catheter removal.Results Overall, continence rates were 36% 48 hours after catheter removal, 55.6% 1 week, 74.8% 4 weeks, 98.4% 12 weeks, and 100% 24 weeks after catheter removal. The median time to regain continence was 1 week. After stratification according to catheterization time, no significant difference in continence rates was found between different groups at each time point after catheter removal. Longer catheterization was not an independent predictor of continence recovery (10 days: OR 0.985, 95% CI 0.689-1.409, p = 0.936; ≥14 days: OR 1.194, 95% CI 0.869-1.642, p = 0.274). The presence of diabetes was associated with worse continence outcomes (OR 1.535, 95% CI 1.105-2.132, p = 0.011). The mean OABSS of patients in the continent group were significantly lower than the incontinent group at 48 hours, 1 week, and 4 weeks after catheter removal. No significant difference in OABSS was found between different catheterization time groups at each time point after catheter removal.Conclusions Our results demonstrated that different catheterization time (7 days, 10 days, ≥14 days) is not associated with short-, intermediate-, long-term continence outcomes or overactive bladder symptoms.

Objective: The aim of the study was to establish a correlation between Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms and Body Mass Index (BMI) in women aged 20-45. Methods: We interviewed 1.050 women aged 20-45 in the area of Campinas, Brazil, to investigate the prevalence of overactive bladder symptoms. In this study, we used the ICIQ-OAB questionnaire (ICS standard), in its validated portuguese version and a specific questionnaire for the demographics, which includes information about BMI. Results: Overall, women with BMI ≥30 presented a significantly higher score than women with a lower BMI (18.5 - 24.9) (p=0.0066). In the analysis of individual symptoms, no significant differences were found regarding urinary frequency (p=0.5469). Women with BMI ≥30 presented more nocturia than women with BMI ranging between 18.5 and 24.9 (p=0.0154). Women in the group of BMI 25 - 29.9 presented more urgency than women with BMI 18.5 - 24.9 (p=0.0278). Significant difference was also found regarding urge-incontinence; women with BMI 25 - 29.9 presented a higher score than women in the group 18.5 - 24.9 (p= 0.0017). Analysis was also performed on the visual analogue scale regarding how much each symptom bothers the women (quality of life). There were no significant differences regarding frequency, nocturia or urgency but urgency incontinence bother was significant. Women with BMI 25 - 29.9 were more bothered by incontinence than women with BMI 18.5 - 24.9 (p=0.002). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study reinforces the correlation between BMI and OAB symptoms. Obese women present more OAB symptoms than non-obese women.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the impact of anterior bladder flap neourethra (ABFN) technique on early urinary continence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(RP). Materials and Methods Forty patients who underwent laparoscopic RP January 2019 to January 2021 were prospectively randomized into two groups: the ABFN group (n = 20) and the control group (n = 20). We compared continence rates and ICIQ-SF at 1d, 30 d, 90 d and 180 d after catheter removal. In addition, the urethral pressure of two groups, the length and thickness of neourethra in the ABFN group were measured at one week after catheter removal. Results The ABFN group had marked improvement incontinence rates at 1d, 30d and 90d after catheter removal vs the control group, while had the nearly same continence rate at 180 d. ICIQ-SF scores of the ABFN group were lower than the control group. Maximal urethral pressure (MUP), functional urethral length (FUL) and functional urethral area (UFA) for the ABFN group has significantly improvement than the control group. MRI showed that the neourethral length of the ABFN group was 13.7–16.2 mm, the thickness was 3.6–5.2 mm. Conclusions The ABFN technique markedly improved the early continence rate after laparoscopic RP.

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the risk factors of acute urinary retention (AUR) following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), as well as the relationship of AUR with early continence outcomes.Methods: The records of 740 consecutive patients who underwent RARP by two experienced surgeons at our institution were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively collected database. Multiple factors, including age, body mass index (BMI), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), prostate volume, presence of median lobe, nerve preservation status, anastomosis time, and catheter removal time (Day 4 vs. 7), were evaluated as risk factors for AUR using univariate and multivariate analysis. The relation between AUR and early return of continence (one and three months) post-RARP was also evaluated.Results: The incidence of clinically significant vesico-urethral anastomotic (VUA) leak and AUR following catheter removal were 0.9% and 2.2% (17/740), respectively. In men who developed AUR, there was no significant relationship with regards to age, BMI, IPSS, prostatic volume, median lobe, nerve preservation, or anastomosis time; however, the incidence of AUR was significantly higher for men with catheter removal at Day 4 (4.5% [16/351]) vs. Day 7 (0.2% [1/389]) (p=0.004). Moreover, patients with early removal of the catheter (Day 4) who developed AUR had an earlier one-month return of 0-pad continence 87.5% (14/16) compared to patients without AUR 45.6% (153/335), with no significant difference at three months.Conclusions: While AUR is an uncommon complication of RARP, its incidence is much higher than VUA leakage. Further, it is often not well-discussed during patient counselling preoperatively. Moreover, earlier return of urinary continence was observed in patients experiencing AUR following RARP exclusively with catheter removal at Day 4. Future studies are warranted to validate the long-term impact of AUR on continence outcomes.

Introduction: We sought to determine the impact of salvage radiotherapy (SRT) on oncological and functional outcomes of patients with prostate cancer after biochemical recurrence (BCR) following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods: Data of 70 patients with prostate cancer treated with SRT after developing BCR were retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively collected RARP database of 740 men. Oncological (prostate- specific antigen [PSA]) and functional (pads/day, International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS], and Sexual Health Inventory for Men [SHIM]) outcomes were reported at six, 12, and 24 months after RT and adjusted for pre-SRT status.Results: Men who underwent SRT had a mean age, PSA, and time from radical prostatectomy (RP) to RT of 61.8 years (60.1‒63.6), 0.5 ng/ml (0.2‒0.8), and 458 days (307‒747), respectively. Freedom from biochemical failure (FFBF) post-SRT, defined as a PSA nadir <0.2 ng/mL, was observed in 89%, 93%, and 81%, at six, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Undetectable PSA was observed in 14%, 35%, and 40% at the same time points, respectively. There was no significant difference in urinary continence post-SRT (p=0.56). Rate of strict continence (0 pads/day) was 71% at 24 months compared to 78% pre-SRT. Mean IPSS at six, 12, and 24 months was 3.4, 3.6, and 3.6, respectively compared to pre-RT score of 3.3 (p=0.61). The mean SHIM score pre-SRT was comparable at all time points following treatment (p=0.86).Conclusions: In this unique Canadian experience, it appears that early SRT is highly effective for the treatment of BCR following RARP with little impact on urinary continence and potency outcomes.

Introduction: Urinary continence significantly affects quality of lifeafter radical prostatectomy (RP). The impact of nerve-sparing surgeryon continence is unclear from the current literature.Methods:We identified men with prostate cancer from the UniversityHealth Network Prostate Centre database who underwent RP.Preoperatively and at each postoperative visit, patients completedthe Patient-Oriented Prostate Utility Scale (PORPUS), a validatedpsychometric and health utility instrument. Incontinence was definedby a single questionnaire item. Patients with radiotherapy or lessthan 10 months follow-up were excluded. Chi-squared tests andANOVA were used to compare groups. Multivariable logisticregression was used to control for effects of nerve-sparing andother covariates.Results: Of the 253 eligible patients from 2003 to 2007, 159 patientshad bilateral nerve-sparing, 32 had unilateral nerve-sparing and62 had non-nerve-sparing surgery. Of these patients, 27%, 17%and 34%, respectively, were classified as incontinent at 1 year.These proportions were not significantly different between groups(p = 0.23). Multivariable logistic regression showed baseline urinarycontinence and urinary frequency to be significant predictorsof patient-reported continence at 1 year postoperatively, withodds ratios of 1.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-2.9) and 1.5(95% CI 1.0-2.3), respectively.There was a significant difference in the proportion of PORPUSsexual function scores between nerve-sparing groups after excludingthose with baseline sexual dysfunction (p = 0.003). Similarly,health-related utility scores were different across groups (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Our results do not suggest a difference in 1-year patientreportedcontinence based on the type of nerve-sparing RP.However, baseline continence and urinary frequency were significantpredictors of continence at 1 year.Introduction : L’incontinence urinaire réduit grandement la qualitéde vie après une prostatectomie radicale (PR). Or, les donnéespubliées ne permettent pas d’établir l’impact sur la continenced’une intervention avec préservation des filets nerveux.Méthodologie : Des hommes atteints de cancer de la prostate etayant subi une PR ont été trouvés dans la base de données duUniversity Health Network Prostate Centre. Avant l’interventionet lors de chaque visite après celle-ci, les patients devaient utili -ser le questionnaire PORPUS d’auto-évaluation, un instrumentvalidé de psychométrie sur les troubles de la prostate et l’état desanté. Un seul point du questionnaire a trait à l’incontinence. Lespatients ayant reçu une radiothérapie ou dont le suivi était inférieurà 10 mois étaient exclus. Les groupes ont été comparés à l’aidede tests du chi carré et d’analyses ANOVA. Une analyse de régressionlogistique multivariée a permis de vérifier les effets de lapréservation des filets nerveux et d’autres covariables.Résultats : Sur les 253 patients admissibles traités entre 2003 et2007, 159 avaient subi une intervention bilatérale avec préservationdes filets nerveux, 32, une intervention unilatérale avec préservationdes filets nerveux et 62, une intervention sans préservationdes filets nerveux. De ces nombres, 27 %, 17 % et 34 %respectivement étaient considérés incontinents après un an. Laproportion de patients incontinents n’était pas significativementdifférente entre les groupes (p = 0,23). L’analyse de régressionlogistique multivariée a fait ressortir que la continence urinaire etla fréquence mictionnelle au départ étaient des facteurs de prédictionimportants de la continence évaluée par les patients unan après l’intervention, les rapports des risques étant respectivementde 1,7 (intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 % : 1,1 à 2,9) et1,5 (IC à 95 % : 1,0 à 2,3).Une différence significative a été notée dans le taux de scoresPORPUS de dysfonction sexuelle entre les groupes ayant subi uneintervention avec préservation des filets nerveux, après exclusiondes patients présentant une dysfonction sexuelle au départ (p =0,003). De même, les scores concernant l’état de santé étaientdifférents d’un groupe à l’autre (p < 0,001).Conclusion : Nos résultats ne portent pas à croire à l’existence d’unedifférence sur le plan de la continence un an après l’interventionen fonction du type de PR avec préservation des filets nerveux.Cependant, la continence et la fréquence mictionnelle au départconstituent d’importants facteurs de prédiction de la continenceun an après l’intervention.
