摘要: Objective To examine the effect of penile vibratory stimulation (PVS) in preservation and restoration erectile function urinary continence conjunction with nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (RP). Patients Methods The present study was conducted between July 2010 March 2013 as a randomized prospective trial at two university hospitals.

The highest all time points median 18 vs 7.5 (P = 0.09), but difference reached borderline significance. At months, 16/30 (53%) had while this case 12/38 (32%) 0.07). There no significant differences proportions groups months. At 90% continent, 94.7% 0.46). Conclusion The did not document PVS. However, method proved be acceptable most there trend towards better More studies are needed explore possible further.
