Smilow Center surgeons have reported that 80% of men regain continence after 3 months, 90% after 6 months, 93% after 12 months and 97% after 24 months. A small subset of men will regain complete urinary control immediately after the catheter is removed (Lepor H, Kaci L, Xue X. J Urol. 171(3):1212-5 (2004); Abraham H, Makarov D, Laze J, Lepor H. J. Urol. 181(4)(Suppl. 1):670 (2009)).
