When will I have complete urinary control after the dVP?
Results following our initial 250 operations show that 84.8% of patients treated at our institution experienced early return of urinary continence, defined as wearing no pads or a small liner for security purposes, at one week following catheter removal. This trend continued and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months following surgery 94.4%, 96.7%, 98.0%, 98.7, and 98.7% of the patients were dry, respectively.
