title: [Sexual function after radical prostatectomy: update of 2009].
abstract: Prostate cancer is more frequently diagnosed in young males. It is then of utmost importance to improve preservation and recovery of sexual function. The surgical technique of radical prostatectomy has evolved and erectile nerve sparing allows now to achieve recovery in an important proportion of selected patients. However, rehabilitation and sexual counselling protocols are rare and may not include the partner. This has led us to propose a specific urologic and sexologic associated management.
