Abstract

Radical prostatectomy is a «gold standard» for treatment of the patients with a localized prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence is one of the two most common complications of this operation. In this article we report a study aimed to compare the efficacy parameters linked to postoperative continence in 39 patients with new technique for reconstruction of the bladder neck during the radical prostatectomy using a deep suture of the bladder wall dorsally to the neck aperture with 45 patients in control group with a standard type of reconstruction in the form of tennis racket. According to the results, application of the new technique leads to a significant improvement in continence during the first 6 months after the operation with no difference among groups during follow-up later on. Given the results of the anatomical study, the efficacy of the new method of reconstruction is linked to passive closure mechanism created in the area of the bladder neck.
