Extended pelvic lymph node dissection does not affect erectile function recovery in patients treated with bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy
Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) might be associated with damages to the pelvic plexus, potentially affecting erectile function (EF) recovery after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the impact of the extent of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) on EF has never been addressed.
