Abstract
Urinary incontinence developed in 18% of patients who underwent TURP following prostate brachytherapy. No significant correlations between radiation dose, preimplant prostate volume or hormonal therapy were identified with regard to this risk. Patients in late retention or with obstructive symptoms (greater than 2 years) following implantation who require TURP are at greater risk for incontinence.
