“…Although the severity of urinary incontinence often decreases with time after RP [6][7][8], previous studies have demonstrated that 8% to 87% of patients still experience urinary incontinence at six months and 5% to 44.5% remain incontinent at one to two years after surgery [7][8][9][10][11][12].

“…The value of psychological support for men following radical prostatectomy has been stressed in the literature, 52 as has the intrinsic value of therapist contact in order to maintain patient motivation. 64 Within MAPS, therefore, a schedule of four appointments (at baseline, 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks) was considered sufficient to monitor postsurgical muscle strength development and maintain motivation but not be too burdensome on patients or costly in terms of resources (chiefly therapist time).…”
