Background
Although phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) are one of the standard treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) after radical prostatectomy, consensus has not been reached on their use. The aim of study is to compare the efficacy of tadalafil 5mg once daily according to rehabilitation initiating timing in improving erectile function (EF) following nerve-sparing robot assisted radical prostatectomy (nsRARP).
Materials and methods
A total of 41 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate who were underwent bilateral nsRARP were prospectively randomised. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to tadalafil rehabilitation initiating timing (preRARP; n = 20; 2 wks before /postRARP; n = 21; 4 wks after). Included patients were those with ≥ 1 year of follow-up and who were potent preoperatively, determined by abridged five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire (≥ 17). Recovery of ED after nsRARP was defined as return to baseline sexual function (IIEF-5 ≥ 17) or patient’s answer to have successful intercourse. The difference of pre/post IIEF-5 score were evaluated and compared between groups.
Results
The mean age was 60.4 yr of age (standard deviation: 5.7 yr); 82% and 79% of patients in the preRARP and postRARP groups achieved ED recovery after nsRARP at 1 yr. At the end of treatment, the IIEF-5 score in the preRARP group was significantly greater than postRARP group (15.6±2.1 vs. 12.8±3.5, p<0.001). Between baseline and post operative follow up, mean difference of IIEF-5 score were - 11.7±3.2, - 5.6±1.5 and - 4.1±1.1 in preRARP group while - 14.7±4.7, - 9.7±3.8 and - 5.9±3.1 in postRARP group (p = 0.208, 1 mo; p = 0.003, 6 mo; p = 0.015, 1yr follow up).
Conclusion
Data from our study suggest that pre operative early penile rehabilitation with once daily tadalafil 5 mg may offer benefits leading to better erectile function recovery compared with post operative initiated group.
