Female organ- and nerve-sparing surgical approaches during RC seem to result in improved voiding function. There is a significant need for well-designed studies exploring sexual and HRQOL outcomes to establish evidence-based management strategies to support shared decision-making process tailored toward patient expectations and satisfaction. Understanding expected functional, sexual, and quality of life outcomes is necessary to allow individualized pre-and postoperative counseling and care delivery in female patients planned for RC.
