The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term need for incontinence improving procedures post robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) comparing posterior reconstruction urethrovesical anastomosis (PR-UVA) versus conventional urethrovesical anastomosis (C-UVA).METHODSConsecutive patients with clinically localized prostate cancer undergoing RARP were randomized to PR-UVA or C-UVA groups. Return to continence outcomes were assessed using a validated questionnaire (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite [EPIC] Short Form-26) at baseline, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12-month follow-up.
