Lewis ChanAustralia Speaker Imaging of Male Pelvic Floor Structure and the Natural Course of Pelvic Floor Remodeling after ProstatectomyLower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence are common issues in the ageing population. It is well recognised that radical prostatectomy can have significant impact on urinary continence and quality of life in men who have undergone surgery for prostate cancer. The causes of post prostatectomy incontinence can be multifactorial and urodynamic studies in men prior to prostatectomy have shown a high prevalence of bladder dysfunction.
