简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of external electrical stimulation applied on the thigh on urinary symptoms, quality of life, sexual function, perception of subjective improvement and satisfaction in men with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy
详细描述
The most common complication after prostatectomy surgeries is urinary incontinence. There are conservative and surgical treatment options in post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. One of the conservative treatment options is electrical stimulation application.
