Today we would like to talk about an invasive procedure to treat prostate cancer that can increase the chances of post-sugary incontinence. A less invasive robotic surgery used in the treatment of prostate cancer is being related to male incontinence and erectile dysfunctions.
Men who had this surgery have greater chances of becoming incontinent than men who had conventional open surgery, says a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
However, the newer technique cuts patients’ hospital stays, requires far fewer blood transfusions, and carries less than half the risk of leaving behind scar tissue necessitating a second surgery.
That is one of the reasons why you should always ask for second medical opinion in cases like this.
On Monday, we discussed the effectiveness of invasive operations in the treatment of urinary incontinence. We based our discussion on a study that compared the effectiveness of less invasive procedures to traditional open surgery and other surgical approaches.
