Implantable device to preserve erections after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new implantable device designed to help men keep their erections after nerve-sparing prostate surgery. If you are having surgery for early-stage prostate cancer and have good erectile function now, this device might help you maintain it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
