We measured the abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness (SCFT) and periprostatic fat thickness (PPFT) on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging as indicators of subcutaneous and visceral fat, respectively. Uroflowmetry and a one\u2010hour pad test were performed in all patients at 1, 3, 6, and 12\u2009months after RARP, and the resulting data were used to calculate bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) and the amount of urinary leakage as objective postoperative parameters. Associations between preoperative SCFT or PPFT and these parameters were evaluated using univariate and multivariate regression analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the univariate analysis, SCFT was significantly correlated with BVE at 1, 3, 6, and 12\u2009months (\n                      <jats:italic>p\u2009&lt;<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u20090.05), and with the amount of urinary leakage at 3, 6, and 12\u2009months (\n                      <jats:italic>p\u2009&lt;<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u20090.05).
