Background: Radical prostatectomy is associated with excellent long-term disease control for localized prostate cancer. Prior studies have suggested an increased risk of short-term complications among older men who underwent radical prostatectomy, but these studies did not adjust for comorbidity. Methods: We examined mortality and complications occurring within 30 days following radical prostatectomy among all 11 010 men who underwent this surgery in Ontario, Canada, between 1990 and 1999 using multivariable logistic regression modeling.

Results: Overall, 53 men (0.5%) died, and 2246 (20.4%) had one or more complications within 30 days of radical prostatectomy. In models adjusted for comorbidity and year of surgery, age was associated with an …
