Our results suggest that RARP is feasible in elderly patients. Nevertheless, elderly patients in the ≥ 70-year-old group had significantly inferior postoperative continence rates compared to patients aged 66-69 years. Such information is valuable when counselling men during preoperative RARP planning to ensure that they have realistic postoperative expectations.
