Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which technique in using a vacuum erection device (VED) is best. Erectile dysfunction (ED) after robotic prostate cancer surgery is a concern for both the surgeon and the patient. Recent studies have shown that beginning to use the vacuum pump on a daily basis starting with in 2-8 weeks may help prevent the start of penile shrinkage. This is a potential issue that can occur because of decreased blood flow after prostate cancer surgery. This study will allow researchers to determine and compare vacuum therapy techniques and erectile function outcomes of patients who have prostate cancer surgery
