Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study aims at investigating the possible correlation between core stability muscles and urinary incontinence following Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy.

Sixty-two patients who are candidates for Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy will be enrolled. All participants will be asked to be evaluated in their core stability functionality 30-40 days before Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy intervention. The core stability functionality result will be correlated with the urinary incontinence 45-50 days after intervention.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    The study aims at investigating the correlation between core stability muscles and urinary incontinence following Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy.

    All sixty-two participants will be asked to be evaluated in their core stability functionality 30-40 days before Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy intervention. Core stability functionality will be evaluated through the Loumajoki Battery of tests, composed of 10 simple items in which the patients have to maintain core stability. In addition a Quality of Life questionnaire (WHO Quality of Life-BREF) will be administered. The core stability functionality result will be correlated with urinary incontinence measured by the 24h PAD test 45-50 days after intervention. At this point core stability will be evaluated again as done before.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Correlation between Core stability functionality and Urinary Incontinence. [Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery. Urinary incontinence evaluated 45-50 days after surgery]

      To evaluate any correlation between Core stability functionality measured with Loumajoki Battery and Urinary Incontinence measured with 24h PAD test.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Correlation between Core stability functionality and Quality of Life. [Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery. Quality of Life evaluated 30-40 days before surgery]

      To evaluate any correlation between Core stability functionality measured with Loumajoki Battery and Quality of Life measured with WHO Quality of Life-BREF.

    2. Variation between Core stability functionality at base line and at follow-up. [Core stability evaluated 30-40 days before surgery and 45-50 days after surgery]

      To evaluate any variation between Core stability functionality at base line and at follow-up measured with Loumajoki Battery.
