Baseline Functional Status May Predict Decisional Regret Following Robotic Prostatectomy

Decisional regret following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is independently predicted by age, baseline urinary and erectile function, perioperative outcomes, and postoperative urinary and erectile function. These results may be useful to urologists during preoperative patient counseling to set realistic expectations for the postoperative course, potentially improving the surgical experience.
