Preoperative pelvic floor muscle diameter as a predictor of postoperative urinary incontinence in robotic‐assisted laparoscopic total prostatectomy
Preoperative evaluation of pelvic floor muscle thickness, particularly the obturator internus and pubococcygeal muscles, may help predict early postoperative urinary continence recovery in patients undergoing RARP. Preoperative pelvic floor muscle exercises to strengthen these muscles could improve the postoperative outcomes.
