TLDR
There is objective evidence that variations in the shape of the prostatic apex in relation to the membranous urethra may significantly affect early recovery of urinary continence after radical retropubic prostatectomy.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A Critical Analysis of the Current Knowledge of Surgical Anatomy Related to Optimization of Cancer Control and Preservation of Continence and Erection in Candidates for Radical Prostatectomy
Jochen Walz,Arthur L. Burnett,Anthony J. Costello,James A. Eastham,Markus Graefen,Bertrand Guillonneau,Mani Menon,Francesco Montorsi,Robert P. Myers,Bernardo Rocco,Arnauld Villers +10 more
TL;DR: The surgical anatomy of the prostate and adjacent tissues involved in radical prostatectomy is complex and precise knowledge of all relevant anatomic structures facilitates surgical orientation and dissection and ideally translates into both superior rates of cancer control and improved functional outcomes postoperatively.

Is it time to consider a role for MRI before prostate biopsy
Hashim U. Ahmed,Alex Kirkham,Manit Arya,Rowland Illing,Alex Freeman,Clare Allen,Mark Emberton +6 more
TL;DR: The use of MRI before a biopsy can serve as a triage test in men with raised serum prostate-specific antigen levels, in order to select those for biopsy with significant cancer that requires treatment, and avoid biopsy in those with no disease or insignificant cancer.

Full Functional-Length Urethral Sphincter Preservation During Radical Prostatectomy
Thorsten Schlomm,Hans Heinzer,Thomas Steuber,Georg Salomon,Oliver Engel,Uwe Michl,Alexander Haese,Markus Graefen,Hartwig Huland +8 more
TL;DR: The combination of an FFLU preparation and improved preservation of the anatomic fixation of the urethral sphincter complex resulted in significantly increased early urinary continence results.

Recovery of Urinary Continence after Radical Prostatectomy: Association with Urethral Length and Urethral Fibrosis Measured by Preoperative and Postoperative Endorectal Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Philippe Paparel,Oguz Akin,Jaspreet S. Sandhu,Javier Romero Otero,Angel M. Serio,Peter T. Scardino,Hedvig Hricak,Bertrand Guillonneau +7 more
TL;DR: Preoperative and postoperative MUL and the MUL loss ratio are related to the recovery time and level of urinary continence after RP and preservation of urethral length during surgery is recommended.

Preoperative Membranous Urethral Length Measurement and Continence Recovery Following Radical Prostatectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TL;DR: The results indicate that measuring the length of the membranous urethra via magnetic resonance imaging before surgery may be useful to predict a longer period of urinary incontinence after surgery, or to explain a delay in achieving continence after surgery.

Risk Factors for Urinary Incontinence after Radical Prostatectomy
James A. Eastham,Michael W. Kattan,Eamonn Rogers,Jeremy R. Goad,Makoto Ohori,Timothy B. Boone,Peter T. Scardino +6 more
TL;DR: While the risk of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy is related to the uncontrollable factor of patient age, it is also sensitive to the surgical technique used.

Prospective assessment of patient reported urinary continence after radical prostatectomy.
TL;DR: The nerve sparing technique of radical prostatectomy was associated with improved recovery of urinary continence in an age dependent manner, whereas bladder neck preservation was not beneficial.

TL;DR: On endorectal MRI before radical prostatectomy a longer membranous urethra is associated with significantly more rapid return of urinary continence after surgery.

TL;DR: Urethral closure pressure, functional urethral length and bladder stability are significant urodynamic factors that influence continence after radical prostatectomy.

TL;DR: The impact of radical retropubic prostatectomy on continence and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was determined and factors predisposing the early return of continence were identified.
