Fatores de risco associados à incontinência urinária pós prostatectomia: protocolo de estudo de scoping review

Abstract

Introduction: Male urinary incontinence is one of the main complications after prostatectomy. However, its causes are not yet fully understood, as it may be due to the combination of several factors such as surgical technique and/or the patient's own clinical history/conditions. Objectives: Examine and map the risk factors associated with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. Material and Methods: Scoping review based on the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The scoping review protocol was constructed taking into account the defined criteria and suitability for the proposed bases/repositories. The relevance analysis of articles, data extraction and synthesis will be carried out by two independent reviewers. Presentation and interpretation of results: The results will be presented in a descriptive way, using tables, taking into account the objective and focus of the scoping review. In addition, a narrative summary will also be prepared in which a critical-reflective analysis of the information obtained will be aggregated and carried out. Conclusions: It is expected that this scoping review will allow the analysis and systematization of studies regarding risk factors associated with the development of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. It is therefore expected that this review will constitute a starting point for the analysis and systematization of post-prostatectomy care, contributing not only to the optimization of interventions in this population, but also to scientific research on this topic.
