Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes for cancer mortality in men. Radical prostatecomy is a very efficient means of therapy. For the surgeon it seems to be more difficult to perform this operation in obese men. The aim of this presented study was to objectify this impression by evaluation of the data of 1880 men undergoing radical prostatectomy at the clinic for urology at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar, München, Germany, using uni- and multivariate analysis. Obese men seem to benefit as much from this operation as slim patients.
