Erectile dysfunction following a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer is a condition that many men may experience. However, there are now various treatment options available to preserve and restore erectile function.

Erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy is a fairly common condition. This condition depends on many factors, such as preoperative sexual function, the status of the tumor, whether nerve-sparing surgery was performed, and the surgeon’s experience.

Penile rehabilitation in the early postoperative period is very important. During this process:

• PDE5 inhibitor medications
• Vacuum devices

can be used.

In the long term, however, penile implants have a very high success rate.
