A matter of size? Health‐related quality of life after radical prostatectomy for patients with giant prostates

Background Evidence regarding the impact of giant prostate volume (PV) on outcome after radical prostatectomy (RP) is controversial with a lack of evidence on the impact of PV on health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). We aimed to assess the impact of giant PV on HRQOL and functional outcomes for me...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Evidence regarding the impact of giant prostate volume (PV) on outcome after radical prostatectomy (RP) is controversial with a lack of evidence on the impact of PV on health‐related quality of life (HRQOL). We aimed to assess the impact of giant PV on HRQOL and functional outcomes for men with prostate cancer (PC) undergoing RP. Methods Giant PV was defined based on the 95th percentile of PV measured by specimen weight of 3929 patients that underwent RP between 2013 and 2018 in a large tertiary care center. A propensity score‐matched analysis of 929 men treated with RP for PC (n = 184 with PV ≥ 100 cm3, n = 745 with PV
