Multidisciplinary evaluation in erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy.
Radical prostatectomy is associated with a postoperative impotence rate of 90%, a sequel that is the least acceptable to the patient. The use of the nerve-sparing procedure according to Walsh (1) with 70% restoration of sexual power postoperatively is limited considering the prevalence of periprostatic tumour invasion. A method is described which satisfies the demand for both a radical surgical procedure and postoperative restoration of sexual power.
