About this study

Official title: The Effect of Endoscopic Procedures After Radical Prostatectomy on Urinary Incontinence

The researchers investigated whether endoscopic retrograde urethral interventions applied for various reasons after radical prostatectomy (RP) operation cause a change in urinary incontinence (UI) level, and if there is a change, whether it changes according to the endoscopic procedure time and the endoscopic instrument used.

Read the detailed description

Localized prostate cancer is usually treated with RP. The most common complications after RP are erectile dysfunction (ED) and UI. After RP, some patients may require retrograde endoscopic urethral intervention. In this study, researchers investigated whether there is a change in the UI level in patients that underwent retrograde urethral intervention after RP and whether this change was affected by the duration of the procedure and type of endoscopic device used.

Methods: Eighteen patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on the endoscopic device used: group 1 rigid cystoscopy, group 2 flexible cystoscopy, and group 3 semi-rigid ureterorenoscopy (URS). The Turkish version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and the number of pads used daily was questioned before the endoscopic procedure and 1 month after the procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • endoscopic surgical interventionProcedure or surgery

    The researchers investigated whether endoscopic surgical procedures performed due to various indications (hematuria, urinary tract stone, suspected bladder mass) in the patient group who had undergone radical prostatectomy, caused a change in urinary incontinence level. The researchers divided the endoscopic instruments used into 3 groups and evaluated whether there was a difference in urinary incontinence level between rigid cystoscope, flexible cystoscope and ureterorenoscope groups.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF)

    The ICIQ-UI Short Form is a questionnaire for evaluating the frequency, severity and impact on quality of life (QoL) of urinary incontinence in men and women in research and clinical practice across the world. Minimum score: 0, maximum score: 21. The higher the score, the higher the level of urinary incontinence is interpreted.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Daily pad use

    It refers to the number of pads used in 1 day due to urinary incontinence.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endoscopic surgical intervention in people with Prostate Cancer and Incontinence, run by Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF) (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2021.
