Table 2 Unadjusted functional outcome rates per surgeon (among preoperatively potent and continent men) in relation to prior experience and number of cases performed during study period
From: Effects of surgeon variability on oncologic and functional outcomes in a population-based setting
Surgeon number | Prior experience, number of RPs performed before study (n) | Number of cases during study period (n) | Potent at 18 months, n (%) | Impotent at 18 months, n (%) | Missing potency information at 18 months, n (%) | Continent at 18 months, n (%) | Incontinent at 18 months, n (%) | Missing continence information at 18 months, n (%) |
