Hi everyone,

I have a question about incontinence after procedures like Turp, GL, and HoLEP.

Which one has a chance free from incontinence , or depend on surgeon's ability and skill, but my brother in law in Paris had TUEVAP done, and he did not have incontinence problem, and in this forum I see people talking about bladder neck sparing, what does this mean ? And how we can avoid incontinence after procedures? please can you guys to advise or share your experiences and successful outcome.

I really appreciate that, and thank you in advance.

    My uro told me his only TURP patients that had post-TURP incontinence issues were ones that already had issues pre-TURP. I had my catheter removed 17 hours after the surgery and had no issues immediately following, nor do I have any 7 months later.
