Prostate cancer screening programs have led to thousands of sexually healthy and continent men being diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. Recent literature suggests that up to 80% of these cancers are confined to the prostate gland. Currently, radical prostatectomy (RP) remains the best option for management of clinically localized prostate cancer in men with life expectancy greater than 10 years. Despite providing optimal cancer control, surgery can lead to quality of life (QOL) problems such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED). Refinement of surgical technique have improved sexual and continence outcomes; however erectile function lags behind other QOL measures by 1-2 years, and quality of returning erections is often inferior. This can have profound biological, marital, and psychological consequences in potent men undergoing RP.
