Abstract

In order to optimize functional outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP), early rehabilitation programs should be stablished in the clinical practice. A multidisciplinary approach to assess the patient's mental, physical and social well-being are as important as the implementation of pharmacological and mechanical interventions. In current article of the seminar, we focus on strategies to improve erectile function (EF) after surgery. These strategies have been grouped into 4 main categories: pharmacologic and mechanical interventions, psychosocial interventions, hormonal assessment and a final section dedicated to strategies under research.
