  • Title: Improved continence outcomes with preoperative pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises.
    Author: Sueppel C, Kreder K, See W.
    Journal: Urol Nurs; 2001 Jun; 21(3):201-10. PubMed ID: 11998651.
    Abstract:
    The results of this study involving the timing of pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises and the return of continence showed that starting biofeedback sessions with pelvic floor muscle exercises prior to radical prostatectomy surgery improved patient outcomes. A brief overview of male incontinence in the general population, risk factors associated with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, the incidence and pathophysiology of post-prostatectomy incontinence, and the use of biofeedback for treating post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence are presented to provide the foundation for this study.
