Abstract
Predictors can be used when counseling patients who are preparing themselves for radical retropubic prostatectomy. This study highlights the mental impact of this surgery on these patients. We propose that men should undergo a combined mental and physical counseling program before surgery to predict postoperative health related quality of life, potency and continence after radical retropubic prostatectomy.
