| Summary: | Urinary incontinence is the most common adverse effects after radical prostatectomy, and it significantly impacts patients' quality of life after surgery. With the discovery of the fine anatomical structure of the prostate and the popularization of the concept of neurovascular bundle-sparing during surgery, the incidence of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy has been significantly reduced. Depending on the degree of urinary incontinence, the current treatment strategies include conservative treatment, behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, urethral bulking agents injection, male sling and artificial urethral sphincter. This article reviews the current status of treatment of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy, summarizes the scope of application, advantages and disadvantages of different treatment options and prospects for new treatment options in the future. |
