| Popis: |
This study assessed the feasibility of dynamic transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) pre/post radical prostatectomy (RP). 98 patients were scanned pre-operatively and at four time-points post-operatively. TPUS was performed using an abdominal transducer at rest, during pelvic floor contraction (PFC) and Valsalva (VS) manoeuvre in supine and standing positions. Urodynamic evaluations included bladder neck angle at rest/PFC/VS, and degree of bladder neck movement. Pre-operative and post-operative measurements were technically feasible in >85% (supine) and >90% (standing) of patients. TPUS offers a reliable non-invasive dynamic assessment of the pelvic floor post-prostatectomy and may prove a useful adjunct for guiding exercises to preserve continence. |
