Americans are living longer. As a result, an increased number of pathologic prostates are being detected and treated. As a consequence of complications from surgical treatment, such as prostatectomy, urinary incontinence may occur. However, it is important to understand urinary continence in the male and the anatomic changes that result with prostatectomy. Having objective measures that are cost-effective and accessible can assist with equaling subjective and objective assessments of continence, as well as determining successful outcomes and the need for more complex behavioral treatments.
