Abstract

Radical prostatectomy directly affects urinary continence dynamics with incontinence being a major factor in patients’ quality of life, social and psychological status. In order to help maintain continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a number of surgical techniques have been described. In the present narrative review, we summarize the surgical techniques that have been applied during RARP and their effects on incontinence rates and time to continence recovery.
