Taking the Stress out of Male Incontinence

Taking the Stress out of Male Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men is a debilitating condition and often can be the result of prostate surgery, in particular from a radical prostatectomy (open, laparoscopic or robotically assisted). With on average 10% of all patients post prostatectomy still experiencing stress incontinence by 12 months, and the ever-increasing incidence of prostate cancer worldwide, this has become a significantly worsening issue that urologists, nurses and advanced care practitioners are faced with.
