ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Postoperative urinary incontinence recovery following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is an important outcome. We investigated whether factors that affect urinary incontinence can predict the duration of postoperative incontinence recovery.METHODS:
A total of 310 patients underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Continence recovery was defined as either pad-free or a safety pad only status. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on clinical variables to identify those that were associated with continence recovery. A scoring system to predict recovered continence was constructed using statistically significant variables. The validity of this tool was tested in a new cohort of 273 patients.RESULTS:
Factors associated with recovery of urinary incontinence were membranous urethral length, preservation of bilateral neurovascular bundles, and a preoperative Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score of ≥3 in the apex. Age was related only to incontinence recovery at 1 month. To prepare the score, weighting was performed using the estimated values. Using the developed scoring system, participants in the verification set were divided into three groups. The early recovery group had a median incontinence recovery of 4 (4-12) weeks, the medium recovery group, 12 (4-24) weeks, and the late recovery group, 24 (24-48) weeks, which was a significant difference (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
The applied scoring system based on preoperative factors related to incontinence and derived from patient groups was significantly associated with continence recovery time. In patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, our unit-weighted regression model of clinical variables can predict the duration of continence recovery.Palavras-chave
