"Will I leak urine after prostate cancer surgery?"
It's one of the most common concerns patients have before undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy.
While temporary urinary leakage is expected after surgery, advances in robotic technology have dramatically improved outcomes. With precise surgical techniques, 40x magnification, and tissue-preserving approaches, the long-term risk of urinary leakage is now very low—around 1–2%.
The key factors that influence recovery include:
✅ Patient anatomy
✅ Extent of the tumor
✅ Preservation of muscles and nerves
✅ Surgical reconstruction techniques
The good news? Around 98–99% of patients regain normal urinary continence over time.
If you're considering prostate cancer surgery, understanding the facts can help you make informed decisions with confidence.
