The purpose of initiating the urology database is to collect relevant retrospective data via chart review related to patients undergoing radical prostatectomy via the retropubic, perineal, laparoscopic, and robotic assisted laparoscopic approaches and InterStim implantation. This data will be utilized to evaluate the health benefits and outcomes of each of these procedures to enhance care and treatment.
The objective of this study is to initiate and maintain a patient information database that will be used to study the impact of each surgical procedure on patients' overall health, quality of life, and bowel/bladder/sexual function. The study coordinator will, on an ongoing basis, abstract needed medical information from inpatient hospital and physician office records for inclusion into the database.
