Radical prostatectomy (a surgery in which the entire prostate and surrounding tissues are removed) is an effective treatment option for prostate cancer.

Despite the advances in the diagnosis, early treatment, and surgical techniques in these patients, erectile dysfunction still remains as an important problem.

Penile rehabilitation treatments including drugs, intracavernosal injections or penile prosthesis implantations are applied to improve erectile functions after a surgery

One study showed that the majority of patients who underwent penile prosthesis surgery were those who had undergone radical prostatectomy.

Penile prosthesis is a suitable option in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy, when other treatments are not successful or for those who want an exact solution. Satisfaction rate is over 86%.
