Preoperative symptoms predict continence after post-radiation transurethral resection of prostate.

CONCLUSIONS: Rates of post-TURP incontinence were higher in men who were older or had pre-TURP urinary urgency. Assessment of preoperative symptoms would allow for better patient selection. Further research should determine whether this results in better outcomes, including decreased incidence of new onset incontinence and increase in resolution of incontinence.
