Median time to return to work (RTW) ranged from 14 to 56\u00a0days. Amongst low risk of bias studies reporting adjusted estimates, RTW was faster (adjusted hazard ratio 2.13, 95%CI 1.62\u20132.80) and long-term absenteeism less likely (adjusted odds ratio 0.53, 95%CI 0.42\u20130.68) after robot-assisted than open radical prostatectomy. Absenteeism ranged from\u2009&lt;\u200914 to\u2009&gt;\u200950\u00a0days and was longer with advanced disease and physically demanding work.
