Long-term functional outcomes after robotic vs. retropubic radical prostatectomy in routine care: a 6-year follow-up of a large German health services research study.

Younger age and lack of postoperative radiotherapy were associated with better urinary continence and erectile function. Additionally, a high annual caseload (≥ 200 RP/year) was associated with better urinary continence. Younger age, low or intermediated oncological risk and lack of postoperative radiotherapy were independent predictors for a trifecta outcome. The surgical approach did not affect long-term functional outcomes.
