[The value of preoperative perineal rehabilitation in radical prostatectomy and replacement entero-cystoplasty. Preliminary results].
Radical surgery of the prostate and replacement entero-cystoplasty are associated with varying degrees of risk of diurnal or nocturnal incontinence, which is always poorly tolerated by the patient. In order to reduce this discomfort, perineal reeducation, commenced before the operation, appears to be a valuable aid. A survey of sphincter function easily detects patients at risk and postoperative sphincter disorders can be prevented to a large degree. The authors analyse their preliminary results in 14 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and in another 10 patients undergoing replacement entero-cystoplasty.
