A groundbreaking trial reveals that the NeuroSafe prostate cancer surgery approach nearly doubles the chances of men retaining erectile function after surgery. Conducted in five UK hospitals, this method preserves vital nerves around the prostate by allowing surgeons to assess the removed tissue during the procedure. If clear of cancer, surgeons can leave the nerve-containing outer layer intact, reducing erectile dysfunction risks. This advancement, particularly relevant for the common cancer affecting men over 50, offers hope for better quality of life post-surgery amidst rising global diagnoses.
This procedure gives surgeons feedback during the surgery to give them the certainty they need...to spare as many nerves as possible and give men increased hope of recovering their sexual potency after their cancer is surgically removed.
The disease is most common in over-50s and is often called a silent killer because it causes no symptoms in the early stages.
