Abstract in brief

  • This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a specialized pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training program started before prostate surgery on muscle function and urinary incontinence, finding that preoperative training helped improve recovery and reduce leakage.
  • Men who did the pre-surgery PFM exercises showed faster return to continence, less leakage, and better muscle function post-surgery compared to a control group that did basic exercises.
  • The study suggests that starting pelvic floor muscle training before prostatectomy can enhance muscle function, decrease incontinence, and improve quality of life after surgery.]
