Surgeon Experience and Erectile Function After Radical Prostatectomy: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction is a common consequence after radical prostatectomy (RP) affecting psychosocial well-being and quality of life. As the RP surgical technique is complex, it is reasonable to propose that the experience of the surgeon could influence the postoperative erectile function (EF) outcomes.

Objective: To undertake a systematic review to investigate whether the surgeon's experience affects the patient's ability to regain EF after RP.

Surgeon case volume and continence recovery following radical prostatectomy: a systematic review.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common complication following radical prostatectomy (RP). Prolonged UI has a substantial impact on quality of life and psychosocial well-being. As the RP technique is complex, it is reasonable to propose that surgeon experience could affect post-operative continence recovery outcomes.
