Abstract :Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate health status, erectile function, continence status and mental status of the patients. We also analyze demographic features and post-operative complications. We want to detect changings in surgical techniques and complication rates, so we will obtain accurate knowledges for the patients who will undergo radical prostatectomy in the future. Materials and methods: 67 patient included to this study with permission of Pamukkale University ethic commission.

We also asked them how they decide to undergo operation, their satisfaction with the treatment and whether they would accept the same treatment again. We record demographic and follow-up informations of patient from database of our hospital. Results: We found that the number of the patients who undergone radical prostatectomy increased over the years and the lenght of stay in hospital and the risk of additional operation for urethral stricture decreased.
