Localized prostate cancer is commonly treated with radical prostatectomy (RP). Following surgery adverse effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction associated with decreased quality of life and decreased physical function are common.
Traditionally, interventions to reduce these adverse effects are introduced postoperatively. However, a growing body of literature shows the benefit of interventions prior to surgery to enhance treatment success, known as prehabilitation.
Hence, the main purpose of this study is to develop and investigate the feasibility of prehabilitation using telehealth, to implement several interventions prior to elective RP.
