Abstract

Introduction: It was reported in literature that >80% of men suffer from urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. The symptoms can be treated conservativ (pelvic floor training) or by surgery. The conservative therapy with supervised urological rehabilitation/rehabilitative urology is a standard and an effective and attractive method for men with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Rehabilitative Urology / Urological rehabilitation in men after radical prostatectomy results in a higher effectivity and patient’s acceptance.

Material and Methods: Own pictures and materials.

Conclusions: Erection disorder and urinary incontinence are the basic symptoms of patients who had radical prostate surgeries. In many countries of Western Europe, this surgery is not equivalent with the end of treatment(!). The patient, in order to get closer to the functional state he was before the surgery, has to undergo an intensive rehabilitation under the supervision of urologists and physiotherapists in a specialized clinic. Urology rehabilitation / Rehabilitative Urology is a distinct and very important element of the further treatment! This branch of rehabilitation focuses on urologic diseases and treatment of post operative complications, such as previously mentioned erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence.
