Abstract

PURPOSE: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with poorer postoperative urinary continence in older men. However, published studies reporting conflicting results have design limitations with insufficient data at the extremes of age. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of age on post-RARP urinary continence.
