By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News-New research on Surgery - Prostatectom y is the subject of a report. According tonews originating from Amsterdam, Neth erlands, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Roboticassistedradical pr ostatectomy (RARP) impairs erectile function (EF) due to the surgical procedure andnon-surgical factors. Non-surgical factors may contribute to recovery of ere ctile function (EFR) afterRARP."Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Antoni Van Leeuwenh oek Hospital,"This study assessed the role of non-surgical factors including ph ysical activity in baseline EF and EFRafter prostatectomy. Patient Reported Mea sure Outcomes questionnaires from patients with localizedprostate carcinoma who underwent a RARP with a postoperative follow up (FU) of 3 years. EFR wasdefine d as at least 70% EF recovery of baseline IIEF-EF. Physical activi ties was defined as no activity atall, once a week and 2 a week. In total 804 p atients were included. At baseline, age, lower urinary tractsymptoms (LUTS), ha ving a partner and former smoking were significantly associated (p <.001) of EF.Postoperatively, the extent of nerve sparing and baseline EF were strongly associated with EFR (p <.001).Physical activity 2 a week predicted EF but only beyond 6 months of FU (p = .005, p = .028 and p =.007 at 1, 2 and 3 year FU respectively). Comorbidities, BMI and the use of med ications known to affectEF were not predictive of EFR. Age, LUTS, having a part ner and former smoking were baseline associatedwith EF prior to RARP. Baseline EF and extent of nerve sparing jointly predicted EFR. Intensive physicalactivit y was an independent predictor of EFR beyond the first year after RARP."
