To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence
* Post prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) was common complication after radical prostatectomy among prostate cancer patients. * The prevalence of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence was reported at 87%. * The pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) using Kegel exercise was first methods to prevent PPI after prostatectomy. * However, there was no standardized protocol of the PFMT and it was necessary of biofeedback to PFMT. * Therefore, we hypothesis the efficacy of personalized device of PFMT with biofeedback among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy * In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of postoperative pelvic floor muscle training using personalized extracorporeal biofeedback device among patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Prostate cancer patients of intervention group will received extracorporeal biofeedback device (Any Kegel) for pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) to improve the post-prostatectomy incontinence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Enrolled patients in intervention group should be performed PFME regularly, based on following protocols: total exercise time (10 minutes/day), intensity (1.2 kgf), tension duration (10 sec/ 1 contraction), total exercise number (4 times/day)
