Independent Factors Affecting Postoperative Short-Term Urinary Continence Recovery after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Table 3

Perioperative urinary continence recovery divided by surgical approaches.

Urinary continence	Anterior (n = 135)	Transvesical (n = 73)	Posterior (n = 66)	value^†
Continence on removal of the catheter, n (%)	46 (34.1%)	64 (87.7%)	52 (78.8%)	<0.001
Continence at postoperative 3 months, n (%)	80 (59.3%)	69 (94.5%)	61 (92.4%)	<0.001
Continence at postoperative 6 months, n (%)	102 (75.6%)	73 (100.0%)	62 (93.9%)	<0.001
Continence at postoperative 12 months, n (%)	123 (91.1%)	73 (100.0%)	66 (100.0%)	0.001
