Transrectal contrast-enhanced (Levovist) ultrasonography in evaluation of urinary leakage after radical prostatectomy: a preliminary report.

摘要

Quick postoperative catheter removal remains one of the main goals of radical prostatectomy, but it leads to a greater risk of urinary leakage. Transrectal ultrasonography with enhancing contrast medium (Levovist) is a simple, effective, and minimally invasive examination to evaluate vesicourethral integrity.
