Urinary incontinence is a common complication following prostatectomy and affects a substantial proportion of patients. Despite advances in surgical technique, many patients experience persistent symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Current management strategies include pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback and physical therapy, and surgical options. However, these approaches may be limited by adherence, access, and invasiveness, leaving a subset of patients with ongoing symptoms despite standard care. Non-invasive pelvic floor neuromuscular stimulation has emerged as a potential adjunct for pelvic floor rehabilitation by inducing supramaximal muscle contractions and enhancing neuromuscular activation without requiring active patient effort. Preliminary studies suggest that high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation may improve patient-reported continence outcomes and pad usage in women as well as men following radical prostatectomy, though existing data are limited by small sample sizes and short follow-up durations. Additionally, no clinical studies exist evaluating outcomes in men following prostatectomy prior to established stress incontinence. Given these limitations, further evaluation is needed to assess the feasibility, tolerability, and short-term effectiveness of this intervention in a post-prostatectomy population.
