DOI: 10.1159/000546359
Abstract: BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication following radical prostatectomy (RP). Although phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) are used for penile rehabilitation, their efficacy post-RP is limited. Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) has emerged… read more here.
