The likelihood of long-term urinary Incontinence after surgery is pretty low, 6-8% have long term moderate to severe incontinence. For myself, I had no real incontinence problems after surgery. Not leaking at all.

The bigger problem is if you have to have salvage radiation after surgery. That causes the urethra to harden And in my case and many other cases I know of, that can lead to long-term incontinence, but not immediately. In my case, incontinence started about five years after radiation and has gotten progressively worse over the last six years. Bad enough that I’m considering getting an AUS.

After surgery, most people Have the incontinence issues resolve within a year.
