The continence was estimated using the ICS-approved (International Continence Society) daily pad usage test in the following time periods: 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Patients defined as continent needed none or 1 pad daily. The degree of incontinence—mild, average, and severe—corresponded with daily pad demand: 1–2, 3, and ≥4 pads/24 h, respectively.
