Abstract
The number of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer was estimated to be 192,000 in 2009 according to the American Cancer Society. The prevalence of reported erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy has significant variance. Among the studies in which the nerve-sparing status was described, erectile function recovery adequate for sexual intercourse was achieved in 50% of patients. This article reviews the animal and human studies in this field and provides a useful penile rehabilitation algorithm. 2011. Published by Elsevier Inc.Entities:
