Trial to Compare Urinary Continence Recovery After Robotic Radical Prostatectomy With or Without Rhabdosphincter Reconstruction.

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Urinary Incontinence
Registration Number
NCT03302169
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute
Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled trail to assess early urinary continence recovery rates after robotic assisted radical prostatectomy when a posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction is performed or not. A hundred forty-six patients with clinically localized and histological confirmed prostate cancer will be enrolled. Continence recovery is defined in the present study as declared urinary continence (absence of incontinence episodes) in the physician interview as no pad use. Continence rates will be explored also by EPIC, ICIQ-SF, IPSS questionnaires 1, 6 and 12 months after the procedure. The sexual function as the secondary objective will be assessed by SHIM questionnaire.
