Patients were eligible for the alyses if they received a uni_x005flateral or bilateral NS RARP

Inclusion criteria

The absence of a complete follow-up, of clinical and of pathological data useful for the risk group defnition, as well as of pre- and postoperative functiol and oncological information specifcally directed towards the Pentafecta outcome defnition, constituted a reason for patients’ exclusion from the alyses. Patients with a preoperative poor erectile function (EF), which was either subjectively reported during the medical consultation or assessed via the IIEF questionire (less than 13 total points), with a ICS male SF incontinence domain≥5, and with cN+disease, were excluded from the alyses.
