Residents’ podcast: Urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy
Maria Uloko is a Urology Resident at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Giulia Lane is a Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery Fellow at the University of Michigan.
In this podcast they discuss the BJUI Article of the Week 'Investigating the mechanism underlying urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy: effectiveness of a longer urethral stump to prevent urinary incontinence'.

Editorial: Towards an individualized approach for predicting post‐prostatectomy urinary incontinence: the role of nerve preservation and urethral stump length
Traditionally, MRI of the prostate has been mainly applied in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Kadono et al. [1] used pre‐ and postoperative pelvic MRI to assess the repositioning of the urethra 10 days and 12 months after prostatectomy, hypothesizing that these alterations could correlate with urinary incontinence and urethral function. Recent MRI measurements of anatomical structures of the pelvic floor, such as membranous urethral length and inner levator distance, were found…

Investigating the mechanism underlying urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy: effectiveness of a longer urethral stump to prevent urinary incontinence
Abstract
Objective
To assess the chronological changes in urinary incontinence and urethral function before and after radical prostatectomy (RP), and to compare the findings of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after RP to evaluate the anatomical changes.
Patients and Methods
In…

Editorial: Prognostic and predictive models in hormone-sensitive PCa
The article by Abdel‐Rahmen and Cheung [1] in the current issue of BJUI takes the Prostascore model [2] developed from epidemiological Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data and applies it to the prospective randomised trial data from the ChemoHormonal Therapy Versus Androgen Ablation Randomized Trial for Extensive Disease in Prostate Cancer (CHAARTED) [3]. This sort of modelling is invaluable, given the inevitable limitations of epidemiological data (retrospective, no data…

Editorial: Occupational exposure and risk of testicular cancer: what can an ecological study in the Nordic countries tell us?
Examining the association between occupational exposure and incidence rates of testicular cancer over time in several countries may provide useful insights into the relative importance of lifestyle and environmental risk factors. The study by Ylonen et al. [1] assessed an ecological, rather than biological, effect of occupational exposure in order to understand differences in testicular cancer rates among populations; therefore, the authors could not draw causal inferences about the effect of…

Editorial: 2018 – A Spacer Odyssey
The optimisation of radical external-beam radiotherapy treatment is ultimately a compromise. The aim is to deliver a clinically effective radiation dose to the tumour target, whilst limiting the irradiation of surrounding normal tissue to minimise acute and late side effects. Modern image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT) allows very accurate treatment delivery, which improves this therapeutic ratio. However, there are limitations in its ability to reduce toxicity, due to the constraints…
