ABSTRACT
Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) has largely replaced open radical prostatectomy (RRP) for the surgical management of prostate cancer despite conflicting evidence of superiority with respect to either disease control or functional sequelae. This study, using population cohort data, examined sexual and urinary function between men undergoing RRP versus those undergoing RALP.
