Key clinical point: At 6 months after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, functional outcomes, but not postoperative complications, were associated with poor scores on quality-of-life assessments.
Major finding: Functional outcomes of urinary incontinence (UI), erectile dysfunction (ED), and urinary complaints (UC) were not significantly associated with post-operative health-related quality of life, but postoperative complications were significantly associated with a slight increase in UC (P < 0.001).
Study details: The data come from an analysis of 528 prostate cancer patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with or without pelvic node dissection between 2012 and 2020. Patients completed questionnaires about health-related quality of life and functional outcomes.
Disclosures: The study received no outside funding. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
