This trial tests whether using a penile vibrator before and after prostate cancer surgery can help preserve sexual function and bladder control. It is for men who are having nerve-sparing prostatectomy and have good erections and bladder control before surgery.
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
This study looks at whether ultrasound imaging can help understand and improve erectile function after prostate removal surgery that aims to protect the nerves. If you’re interested in keeping or improving erections, your ultrasound results may be used to guide follow-up care.
