Reviewer 2 Report
The authors have done a good job in a prospective, non-randomised, single-center, open-label, non-controlled study. The manuscript is well written, and brings novelty to this field of urology. They present a good overview of quality of life in intubated patients.
However, the authors should carry out a grammatical revision to correct small errors throughout the manuscript.

I am very grateful for the time I spent to make this work better. We reviewed the work once again in terms of grammar and vocabulary. We have made corrections to make the work more readable.
Reviewer 3 Report
How do these margins affect quality of life? I understand that there may be 2 issues at stake - the stress of "leaving" the cancer and the need for complementary radiation therapy, so again, stress and long treatment and complications of that treatment. Observation time short, so late complications of radiotherapy are not observed.
Please add if and how many patients received radiotherapy after surgery. Were there any differences in quality of life between men who were irradiated and those who were not.
Please describe in more detail what "complications" are hidden under this term.
It is worth mentioning that the follow-up time is short and, in fact, the article is about early quality of life after surgery.
Figure 2 not very pertinent, could be reworked into some more pictorial one.
In table 3 AND 4 necessary to add description - not sure if cases or %.
In the summary necessary some sentence for the future , because there only a summary of the results.
