Purpose: We identified factors that predict return to part-time and full-time work and resumption of unlimited physical activity following open radical retropubic prostatectomy.
Materials And Methods: Between July 1, 2002 and February 28, 2005, 537 men with clinically localized prostate cancer underwent open radical retropubic prostatectomy, as performed by a single surgeon. Intraoperative, perioperative and postoperative parameters were recorded in real time and entered into a database.
