Brief summary

To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence

Detailed description

* Post prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) was common complication after radical prostatectomy among prostate cancer patients. * The prevalence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence was reported at 87%. * The pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) using Kegel exercise was first methods to prevent PPI after prostatectomy. * However, there was no standardized protocol of the PFMT and it was necessary of biofeedback to PFMT. * Therefore, we hypothesis the efficacy of personalized device of PFMT with biofeedback among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy * In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Interventions

DEVICEExtracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel)

Prostate cancer patients of intervention group will received extracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel) for pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) to improve the post-prostatectomy incontinence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Enrolled patients in intervention group should be performed PFME regularly, based on following protocols: total exercise time (10 minutes/day), intensity (1.2 kgf), tension duration (10 sec/ 1 contraction), total exercise number (4 times/day)
