N2 - Introduction and objectives: Our goal was to evaluate the perioperative, functional and intermediate term oncological outcomes of robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients ≥70 years. Materials and methods: The study population (N = 3241) consisted of consecutive patients who underwent RARP for localized prostate cancer by a single surgeon (VP) from January 2008 through February 2012. A query of our Institutional Review Board approved registry identified 400 men ≥70 years of age, with good functional status (Charlson co-morbidity index 10 years, localized prostate cancer) RARP is a reasonable option in patients ≥70 years and provides comparable perioperative, functional and intermediate term oncologic outcomes as compared to younger patients.
