New study tracks bladder control after prostate surgery

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Able and willing to provide written consent to participate in the study 6. Able and willing to comply with study follow-up visits and procedures Exclusion Criteria: 1. Malignant tumors outside of the prostate capsule confirmed via baseline assessments (e.g., mpMRI, bone scan) 2. History of urinary incontinence, including stress or urge urinary incontinence 3.
