  *FNQ indicates Fugl-Meyer questionnaire; LND, lymph node dissection; POT, potent; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; RRP, radical retropubic prostatectomy; SCOT, subcapsular orchiectomy with a tunica vaginalis graft (procedure); SSQ, SCOT-specific questionnaire; and XRT, external beam radiation therapy.
  {dagger}SSQ 2 "Did the operation make you feel less of a man." Potency defines the patient's erectile function immediately prior to the SCOT procedure. FNQ 3 provides the postoperative score for question 3 of the Fugl-Meyer questionaire (My partnership relation is...) and the difference between the preop and postop score for question 3.
