Impacting Factors for Recovery of Erectile Function Within 1 Year Following Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy

Bilateral nerve preservation with a minimum unilateral-enhanced status is associated with improved recovery of EF, and hyperlipidemia is a significant negative predictive factor of postoperative EF recovery within 1 year following RALP. Therefore, it is important to control hyperlipidemia as well as to use the proper surgical technique in maximizing EF recovery within 1 year after radical prostatectomy.
