Abstract:
The preservation of erectile function in patients undertaking radical prostatectomy was discussed in multiple studies. In this review article we will discuss the factors which influence the recovery of erections as well as the therapeutic modalities. In fact, four possibilities of prevention and treatment are currently available: (1) nerve sparing surgery, (2) nerve grafting, (3) nerve stimulation and (4) pharmacotherapy after surgery.
