Assessing abdominal wall impact on urinary incontinence after prostate surgery
Impact de l'incompétence Abdominale Sur l'Icontinence Urinaire Post Prostatectomie
NA · Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon · NCT05432687
This study is testing if the strength of a man's abdominal muscles before prostate surgery can help predict if he will have urinary problems afterward.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the condition of the deep abdominal wall in men with prostate cancer prior to undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Using ultrasonography, researchers will assess the transversus abdominis muscle to determine if pre-existing abdominal incompetence correlates with urinary incontinence one year after surgery. The goal is to identify potential risk factors that could influence postoperative outcomes related to urinary control.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are males diagnosed with prostate cancer who are scheduled for robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Not a fit: Patients with neurological conditions affecting bladder function or those who have urinary incontinence prior to surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify patients at higher risk for urinary incontinence after prostate surgery, leading to improved preoperative assessments and tailored interventions.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited information on similar studies, the approach of assessing abdominal wall integrity in relation to surgical outcomes is gaining interest, suggesting potential for meaningful insights.
