Incontinence after TURP/ Aquablation/ GLL
- It’s extremely rare for patients without complicated comorbidities to have severe incontinence. Fewer than 15% of patients will experience very minimal incontinence in the first few weeks, and this usually settles quickly with pelvic floor exercises and time for healing. Long-term bothersome incontinence should occur in less than 1%.
