Overcoming Prostate Cancer Surgery & Regaining Urinary Continence

In this testimonial, a patient shares their personal journey through prostate cancer surgery and the challenges of regaining urinary continence afterward.

They openly discuss the physical and emotional hurdles they faced and the support that made a difference along the way.

If you or a loved one are navigating recovery after prostate surgery, this story offers hope, insight, and encouragement on the path to healing.

Setting Expectations, Preserving Quality of Life

 Study Objective

Urinary leakage (urinary incontinence) is a common side effect after radical prostatectomy. The Voro Scaffold provides temporary structural support to the urinary sphincter, potentially reducing incontinence and improving quality of life.

Your Role

Participants will:

    • Complete screening exams (urine tests, MRI, bloodwork).
    • Undergo prostatectomy with or without scaffold placement.
    • Be monitored with follow-ups at catheter removal, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 and 24 months.
    • Complete health and urinary symptom questionnaires.
