Popis: To compare long-term functional outcomes after robotic vs. retropubic RP for patients with localized prostate cancer in routine care. “HAROW” was a large German noninterventional health services research study that prospectively evaluated the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer (≤ T2c). We sent validated questionnaires to 1260 patients who underwent RP to evaluate long-term outcomes. After a median follow-up of 6.3 [interquartile range (IQR) 4.8–7.6] years, 42 (3%) patients had died. The return rate of the questionnaire was 76.8% (936/1218). The approach was robotic in 404 and retropubic in 532 patients. In the multivariate analysis, lack of postoperative radiotherapy [odds ratio (OR) 3.1], younger patient age (
