The EORTC quality of life questionnaire predicts early and long-term incontinence in patients treated with robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. Analysis of a large single center cohort
Objectives: The aim of our study is to evaluate the role of preoperative quality of life (QL) as a possible risk factor for post robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) urinary incontinence. The secondary aim is to evaluate the possible effect of preoperative QL on post RARP lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods and materials: Between 2012 and 2017, all patients undergoing RARP for prostate cancer were enrolled. Patient's demographic, clinical, and histological characteristics were recorded.
