BACKGROUND Adverse effects in the sexual sphere are common in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP). Climacturia, involuntary loss of urine during orgasm, occurs in 20-40% of cases after PR. We analyse its prevalence and associated risk factors after Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). OBJECTIVE We analyse the climacturia prevalence after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) and the association with other related factors. METHODS Retrospective study of 100 patients underwent PRLAR from May 2011 to July 2014. After excluding patients who received radiotherapy after surgery (17), those who did not have sexual activity (7) and those with whom it could not be possible contacted (14), a structured telephone interview was conducted in 62 patients, investigating: presence and intensity of climacturia, orgasmic quality, incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED). Other factors analysed included neurovascular preservation and rehabilitative treatment for ED. The statistical analysis consisted of Chi2test and logistic regression to evaluate associated factors. RESULTS The mean age was 56 vs 59 years and the mean follow-up time was 26.6 vs 20.3 months, in the group with climacturia and without climacturia, respectively. The prevalence of climacturia was 17.9% (slight leaks-82% and severe leaks-18%). In 37% of these patients occurred in all orgasms. The quality of orgasm after surgery was worse in 47%, better in 13% and equal in 40%. The quality of the orgasm worsened more frequently in the climacturia group (63% vs 37%). The urinary incontinence rate was 41%, always effort incontinence. It was more frequent in patients with climacturia (62% vs 38%). In all patients with climacturia, bilateral neurovascular bundles preservation was performed. 32% of the patients had undergone post-surgical erectile rehabilitation with oral drugs. No statistically significant differences were found between patients with or without climacturia respect to the parameters analysed. CONCLUSIONS Climacturia rate after PRLAR in our series was 17.9%. Patients with climacturia presented worse quality orgasms and a higher incontinence rate (p> 0.05). None of the analysed parameters could be defined as predictors of climacturia.

D011468 Prostatectomy Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).
