Background And Purpose: Incontinence is a vital quality-of-life (QoL) concern for men undergoing radical prostatectomy. Using validated QoL instruments, we sought to determine if urinary function was affected by nerve-sparing status at prostatectomy and how this correlated with the three modalities of prostate cancer surgery practiced at our institution: Retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), or robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP).
Patients And Methods: Percent of baseline urinary function (PBUF) score was calculated by dividing follow-up urinary function score by baseline urinary function score.
