Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of pelvic floor exercises (PTE) on urinary incontinence and quality of life (QOL) after radical prostatectomy (RP).

Methods: This randomized controlled, single-blind, experimental study was completed with a total of 33 RP patients, 18 of whom were interventions, and 15 were controls. The intervention group was given pelvic floor exercises (PTE) training in the preoperative period, regular PTE was performed three times a day for six months in the postoperative period, and the continuity of the exercises was checked by telephone. On the other hand, no intervention was applied to the control group other than routine treatment.
