Nerve-sparing prostatectomy

Nerve-sparing prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the prostate gland while preserving the nerves responsible for erectile function. These nerves run close to the prostate, and careful technique is used to avoid damaging them during removal. The goal is to treat prostate cancer effectively while maintaining sexual function. The success depends on the cancer's extent and the surgeon’s skill. This approach helps reduce the risk of postoperative erectile dysfunction, providing a better quality of life for patients after surgery.
