BACKGROUND: In various studies it has been shown that @entity28 enhances the risk for a unfavorable pathological @entity5 stages, higher Gleason scores (GS), positive surgical margins (PSM), and certain perioperative parameters (higher @entity190 , higher length of surgery, higher complication rates) after radical prostatectomy. However, for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) there are only a few studies addressing this topic with partially conflicting results. Furthermore, none of these studies actually represents the clinical practice pattern as performed in a European centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Beside further clinical and histopathological parameters, also body mass index (BMI) of @entity1 undergoing RARP was recorded. The following categories were registered: BMI of <   25   kg/m  , >=    25-29.9   kg/m  , and >=    30   kg/m   defined as normal weight, overweight, and @entity28 , respectively. The potential correlation between BMI on the one hand and various criteria of aggressive @entity5 biology and specific perioperative parameters on the other hand has been examined on univariate and multivariable analyses. RESULTS: 22.8% (n=79), 59% (n=204), and 18.2% (n=63) of @entity1 of the study group presented with normal weight, overweight, and @entity28 , respectively. Based on the results of various multivariable regression models there was no significant influence of @entity28 on pathological @entity5 stage, pN category, undifferentiated @entity5 growth (>=    GS7b), upgrading, or PSM rates. Furthermore, @entity28 @entity1 showed a significantly higher intraoperative @entity190 and a higher length of surgery, which, however, did not result in a higher rate of grade 3a/b complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification after 90 days. CONCLUSIONS: In the present series of consecutive @entity1 undergoing RARP there was no evidence for a @entity5 biology or a higher complication rate in @entity28 @entity1 .
