Re: Is type 2 diabetes mellitus a predictive factor for incontinence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy? A matched pair and multivariate analysis. D. Teber, M. Sofikerim, M. Ates, A. S. Gozen, O. Guven, O. Sanli and J. Rassweiler J Urol 2010; 183: 1087-1091.

摘要

I read with great interest this important article demonstrating the impact of diabetes on the recovery of urinary function following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). The authors showed that after LRP patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) needed a longer time to recover continence compared to those without diabetes, although type 2 DM did not affect overall return to continence. Duration of DM also seems to have a significant impact on post-prostatectomy incontinence.
