Prevalence and impact of sarcopenia on urinary incontinence in localized prostate cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

Sarcopenia significantly contributes to urinary incontinence following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and impacts the recovery process, especially in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. Evaluating muscle mass before surgery and implementing strategies to enhance it could lower the likelihood of urinary incontinence. This insight assists clinicians in improving risk evaluation and management when developing preoperative and rehabilitation strategies.
