I'm curious to know if your surgeon told you, that after measuring the Membranous Urethral Length (MUL) on your MRI he can predict how much risks of incontinence you'll have. I don't think I've read much about MUL on this board.

Interesting.

Given that the Membranous Urethra is where it's going through the pelvic floor, maybe that's why pelvic floor exercises beforehand improve continence outcomes.
