Recovery of functional outcomes after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP): impact of vacuum therapy compared to pde5 inhibitors alone

This study demonstrates the benefits of combining vacuum therapy with PDE5i for improving erectile function and early continence recovery after RARP, highlighting the importance of early, individualized rehabilitation. Vacuum therapy enhances oxygenation, reduces fibrosis and complements PDE5i effects. Further research is needed to refine predictive factors for success and explore the impact of intraoperative blood loss on erectile recovery, enabling optimized, tailored strategies for post-RARP rehabilitation.
