The impact of urinary incontinence on the quality of life among 50 men (average age 67 years) after radical prostatectomy was assessed by a self-administered questionnaire. The majority were not restricted by incontinence, whereas 26% of the men reported limitations in the usual physical activity and more than half reported moderate to severe emotional distress. Of 33 patients evaluated less than 5 years postoperatively 26 (79%) would choose surgery again despite incontinence, whereas 9 of 17 (53%) evaluated after 5 years were unsure or would not. Objective quality of life information may help to improve nonoperative intervention strategies for the incontinent patient.
通过一份自我管理的调查问卷，评估了50名（平均年龄67岁）根治性前列腺切除术后男性尿失禁对生活质量的影响。大多数人不受尿失禁的限制，然而，26%的男性报告日常身体活动受到限制，超过一半的人报告有中度至重度的情绪困扰。在术后不到5年接受评估的33名患者中，26名（79%）表示尽管存在尿失禁仍会再次选择手术，而在术后5年以后接受评估的17名患者中，有9名（53%）不确定或不会再次选择手术。客观的生活质量信息可能有助于改善对尿失禁患者的非手术干预策略。
