Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

For primary surgical treatment of prostate cancer the investigators compare the classic open surgery (radical retropubic prostatectomy, RRP) versus robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALP). Oncological results are obtained at standard follow-up consultations through Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) measurement to detect biochemical recurrence. Functional results (continence, potency, quality of life) are obtained through standardised questionnaires. Currently the investigators perform all of their prostatectomies in a robot-assisted manner. For results of the open surgery the investigators send questionnaires to patients who had the operation in the past.
