Preoperative Exercise Training for Pelvic Floor in Urinary Incontinence Post RALP

Italy120 participantsStarted 2019-09-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of the study is to investigate how posology and typology of preoperative strengthening training of Pelvic Floor Muscle before RALP surgery can affect the postoperative urinary incontinence. 120 subjects undergoing RALP (Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy) will be recruited. The amount of urinary leakage for 48h after 45-55 days post-surgery (Pad Test 48h) will be assessed. Urinary symptoms (IPSS and ICIQ-SF) and their impact on quality of life (index of quality of life 0-6) will be also evaluated. Data will be collected preoperatively (about 30-40 days before surgery) and at 45-55- days after surgery.
