Younger men with good function before surgery are likely to maintain their level of sexual function and continence following prostatectomy, research published in European Urology has shown.

Patients were followed up at 3, 6, 12, 24, 96 and 120 months using a series of validated questionnaires. [With external links to the current evidence base]
