Limite du Pad-Test Court et des questionnaires dans l'évaluation de l'incontinence urinaire post-prostatectomie

The absence of correlation between the two evaluations before surgery confirms the interest of a double evaluation, objective and subjective. The short-term Pad-Test is easy to perform but presents a limited variability of the measure and a lack of precision in leakage detection. Nevertheless, there is a bias of selection in the recruited population who suffered from a minor or moderated urinary incontinence after prostatectomy, according to Stamey standards. The authors propose to prefer 24 hours Pad-Test which evaluate the leakage on a larger period of time.
