ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects and safety of early urinary continence for elderly prostate cancer patients treated with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with bladder neck preservation.Methods Retrospectively analyze the datas for 123 elderly prostate cancer patients treated with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with bladder neck preservation,including operative time,blood lose,margin status and early continence status,etc from group A (56 cases) and group B(67 cases).Classify the urinary incontinence through Common Toxicity Criteria of National Cancer Institute while evaluate the postoperative urinary continence for patients by number of daily pads usage.Lastly, record the urinary continence at the very day, 7 days,1 and 3 months in detail.Results There were no significant differences in body mass index, prostate volume, preoperative serum PSA level and preoperative Gleason score between the two groups.2 cases of patients were postoperative 5 cases and 7 cases of surgical margin positive, and postoperative A, B two groups were 6 cases and 9 cases of leakage of urine.The number of urinary incontinence 0 and urinary incontinence were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Elderly prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy with bladder neck preservation,is useful for early urinary continence, which is available and safe to be generalized.
