Abstract
In a select group of men undergoing RP at a tertiary care referral center, BMI was, in general, unrelated to the baseline and longitudinal postoperative HRQOL scores. Obese men (BMI 30 to 35 kg/m2) should not be selectively discouraged against RP because of concerns about HRQOL. Additional studies are needed to assess the HRQOL outcomes among men with very high BMI values (greater than 35 kg/m2).
