Brief Answer: Diversion surgery Detailed Answer: Dear sir, Thanks for your query. Indeed, incontinence is a complication of prostate surgery. there are no great medications to treat it, so for correction most of the options are surgical. One of the procedures, which is seen in patients with bladder cancer, is to divert the urine to the intestines; other patients get a cystostomy (tube from the bladder) in a similar way as a colsotomy works. Otherwise, there are times where the urology surgeon can do a local repair at the level of the bladder/urethra. I would encourage you to talk to a good Urology Surgeon about these options; your overall health seems good and age by itself should not preclude you from the benefit of a consultation. Hope that helps, wish you the best, Hope that helps wish you the best, Dr Brenes-Salazar MD Mayo Clinic MN
