| Article Title: | Penile rehabilitation following radical prostatectomy |
| Abstract: | The results from animal and human studies imply that the use of PDE5 inhibitor and the generation of erections early after radical prostatectomy are of some benefit to erectile function recovery. Although the definitive protocol for rehabilitation is not defined, future work is aimed at determining this. © 2008 Wolters Kluwer Health|Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. |
