They must consider both goals of optimising quantity and quality of life. The quality of life QoL is a psychometric outcome which is measured using validated questionnaires. Only few data are published concerning pre - and postoperative QoL. Methods This study investigated pre perative QoL of 185 patients who consecutively underwent open radical retropubic prostatectomy for organ-confined PCa to postoperative QoL of another 185 patients. The EORTC QLQ-C30 EORTC QLQPR25 module and 24 h ICS pad test were used mean follow-up months . Results The examined symptom scores of the EORTC QLQ-PR25 were on lowest level. In the dyspnoea symptom score differences of age emerged the amount of patients who are short of breath rose significantly in older patients after surgery p paired two-tailed student s t-test . Lastly the urinary symptom score was found postal-therapeutically low this fact was age independent. The results of sexual symptom score need to be taken into consideration since prostatectomy resulted in a significant reduction of sexual activity independent of age. All functioning scales postoperatively reached high values without significant changes p student s t-test which implies a high QoL after surgery. A reliable and satisfying status of continence was found in our patients after retropubic prostatectomy. A high rate of patients would choose retropubic prostatectomy again. Conclusion Retropubic prostatectomy represents a reliable and accepted
