Prise en charge des troubles de I'érection après prostatectomie totale : la place prépondérante des injections intracaverneuses

Abstract

Here is reported the main data contained in the Repair study regarding the management of sexual disorders following radical prostatectomy by French urologists. 20% of urologists do not evaluate the sexual function of their patient prior surgery. All urologists who participated to the study report that they take care of erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy. 38% of them have a systematical approach for the management of erectile dysfunction following surgery. 80% of urologists start their management of sexual disorders during the first 3 months following surgery, and 88% of them always use the same protocol. In 76% of cases, this protocol consists in the administration of intracavernous injections. The early administration of erectile dysfunction treatments is frequently used by the urologists. Finally, it appears in the Repair study that erectile dysfunction treatment is better accepted by patients when given early and systematically after surgery.
