ABSTRACT

Nerve sparing (NS) contributes to recovery of sexual and urinary function after radical prostatectomy (RP) but may be ineffective in some patients or risk positive surgical margin. We evaluated sexual and urinary function outcomes in prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with RP, according to degree of NS.
