Prostate cancer represents a serious health problem worldwide. Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for management of localized prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence is among the most common complications affecting RALP patients' post-operative quality of life. Several surgical modifications were introduced to overcome this problem including the puboprostatic ligament reconstruction. In this study, we discuss our technique of anterior reconstruction of the puboprostatic ligament during RALP and its effect on the continence outcome postoperatively.

Abstract
Prostate cancer represents a serious health problem worldwide. Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for management of localized prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence is among the most common complications affecting RALP patients' post-operative quality of life. Several surgical modifications were introduced to overcome this problem including the puboprostatic ligament reconstruction. In this study, we discuss our technique of anterior reconstruction of the puboprostatic ligament during RALP and its effect on the continence outcome postoperatively.
