| description | Background
Despite efforts to preserve the neurovascular bundles with nerve‐sparing surgery, erectile dysfunction remains common following radical prostatectomy. Postoperative penile rehabilitation seeks to restore erectile function but results have been conflicting.
Objectives
To evaluate the effects of penile rehabilitation strategies in restoring erectile function following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Search methods
We performed a comprehensive search of multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase), the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, clinical trial registries (ClinicalTrials.gov, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) and a grey literature repository (Grey Literature Report) from their inception through to 3 January 2018. We also searched the reference lists of other relevant publications and proceedings. We applied no language restrictions.
Selection criteria
We included randomised or quasi‐randomised trials with a parallel or cross‐over design.
Data collection and analysis
We used standard Cochrane methodological procedures. Two review authors independently screened the literature, extracted data, assessed risk of bias and rated quality of evidence according to GRADE on a per‐outcome basis. Primary outcomes were self‐reported potency, erectile function measured by validated questionnaires (with potency defined as an International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF‐EF) score of 19 or greater and or an IIEF‐5 of score of 17 or greater) and serious adverse events. For all quality of life assessments on a continuous scale, higher values indicated better quality of life.
Main results
We included eight randomised controlled trials with 1699 participants across three comparisons. This focuses on the primary outcomes of this review only.
Scheduled phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5I) versus placebo or no treatment
Scheduled PDE5I may have little or no effect on short‐term (up to 12 months) self‐reported potency (risk ratio (RR) 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91 to1.41; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 47 more men with self‐reported potency per 1000 (95% CI 33 fewer to 149 more) and short‐term erectile function as assessed by a validated instrument (RR 1.11, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.55; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 28 more men per 1000 (95% CI 50 fewer to 138 more), but we are very uncertain of both of these findings. Scheduled PDE5I may result in fewer serious adverse events compared to place |

Scheduled PDE5I may result in fewer serious adverse events compared to placebo (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.94; low quality evidence), though this does not appear biologically plausible and may represent a chance finding. We are also very uncertain of this finding. We found no long‐term (longer than 12 months) data for any of the three primary outcomes.
Scheduled PDE5I versus on‐demand PDE5I
Daily PDE5I appears to result in little to no difference in both short‐term and long‐term (greater than 12 months) self‐reported potency (short term: RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.53; long term: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.67; both very low quality evidence); this corresponds to nine fewer men with self‐reported short‐term potency per 1000 (95% CI 119 fewer to 166 more) and zero fewer men with self‐reported long‐term potency per 1000 (95% CI 153 fewer to 257 more). We are very uncertain of these findings. Daily PDE5I appears to result in little to no difference in short‐term and long‐term erectile function (short term: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.55; long term; RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.14; both very‐low quality evidence), which corresponds to zero men with short‐term erectile dysfunction per 1000 (95% CI 80 fewer to 125 more) and 119 fewer men with long‐term erectile dysfunction per 1000 (95% CI 239 fewer to 64 more). We are very uncertain of these findings. Scheduled PDE5I may result in little or no effects on short‐term adverse events (RR 0.69 95% CI 0.12 to 4.04; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to seven fewer men with short‐term serious adverse events (95% CI 18 fewer to 64 more), but we are very uncertain of these findings. We found no long‐term data for serious adverse events.
Scheduled PDE5I versus scheduled intraurethral prostaglandin E1
At short‐term follow‐up, daily PDE5I may result in little or no effect on self‐reported potency (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.79, to 1.52; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 46 more men per 1000 (95% CI 97 fewer to 241 more). Daily PDE5I may result in a small improvement of erectile function (RR 1.64, 95% CI 0.84 to 3.20; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 92 more men per 1000 (95% CI 23 fewer to 318 more) but we are very uncertain of both these findings. We found no long‐term (longer than 12 months) data for any of the three primary outcomes.
We found no evidence for any other comparisons and were unable to perform any of the preplanned subgroup analyses based on nerve‐sparing approach, age or baseline erectile function.
Authors' conclusions
Based on mostly very‐low and some low‐quality evidence, penile rehabilitation strategies consisting of scheduled PDE5I use following radical prostatectomy may not promote self‐reported potency and erectile function any more than on demand use.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1465-1858</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1469-493X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1465-1858</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1469-493X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD012414.pub2</identifier><identifier>PMID: 30352488</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd</publisher><subject>Alprostadil ; Alprostadil - administration & dosage ; Drug Administration Schedule ; Erectile Dysfunction ; Erectile Dysfunction - etiology ; Erectile Dysfunction - rehabilitation ; Humans ; Male ; Medicine General & Introductory Medical Sciences ; Miscellaneous ; Penile Erection ; Penile Erection - physiology ; Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors ; Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors - adverse effects ; Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors - therapeutic use ; Postoperative Complications ; Postoperative Complications - rehabilitation ; Prostatectomy ; Prostatectomy - adverse effects ; Prostatectomy - rehabilitation ; Prostatic Neoplasms ; Prostatic Neoplasms - surgery ; Prostatitis ; Quality of Life ; Sexual problems ; Surveys and Questionnaires ; Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction ; Urological Agents ; Urological Agents - administration & dosage ; Urology ; Withholding Treatment ; Withholding Treatment - statistics & numerical data</subject><ispartof>Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2018-10, Vol.2018 (10), p.CD012414</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2018 The Cochrane Collaboration.

Despite efforts to preserve the neurovascular bundles with nerve‐sparing surgery, erectile dysfunction remains common following radical prostatectomy. Postoperative penile rehabilitation seeks to restore erectile function but results have been conflicting.
Objectives
To evaluate the effects of penile rehabilitation strategies in restoring erectile function following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Search methods
We performed a comprehensive search of multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase), the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, clinical trial registries (ClinicalTrials.gov, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) and a grey literature repository (Grey Literature Report) from their inception through to 3 January 2018. We also searched the reference lists of other relevant publications and proceedings. We applied no language restrictions.
Selection criteria
We included randomised or quasi‐randomised trials with a parallel or cross‐over design.
Data collection and analysis
We used standard Cochrane methodological procedures. Two review authors independently screened the literature, extracted data, assessed risk of bias and rated quality of evidence according to GRADE on a per‐outcome basis. Primary outcomes were self‐reported potency, erectile function measured by validated questionnaires (with potency defined as an International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF‐EF) score of 19 or greater and or an IIEF‐5 of score of 17 or greater) and serious adverse events. For all quality of life assessments on a continuous scale, higher values indicated better quality of life.
Main results
We included eight randomised controlled trials with 1699 participants across three comparisons. This focuses on the primary outcomes of this review only.
Scheduled phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5I) versus placebo or no treatment
Scheduled PDE5I may have little or no effect on short‐term (up to 12 months) self‐reported potency (risk ratio (RR) 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91 to1.41; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 47 more men with self‐reported potency per 1000 (95% CI 33 fewer to 149 more) and short‐term erectile function as assessed by a validated instrument (RR 1.11, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.55; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 28 more men per 1000 (95% CI 50 fewer to 138 more), but we are very uncertain of both of these findings. Scheduled PDE5I may result in fewer serious adverse events compared to placebo (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.94; low quality evidence), though this does not appear biologically plausible and may represent a chance finding. We are also very uncertain of this finding. We found no long‐term (longer than 12 months) data for any of the three primary outcomes.

Daily PDE5I appears to result in little to no difference in both short‐term and long‐term (greater than 12 months) self‐reported potency (short term: RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.53; long term: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.67; both very low quality evidence); this corresponds to nine fewer men with self‐reported short‐term potency per 1000 (95% CI 119 fewer to 166 more) and zero fewer men with self‐reported long‐term potency per 1000 (95% CI 153 fewer to 257 more). We are very uncertain of these findings. Daily PDE5I appears to result in little to no difference in short‐term and long‐term erectile function (short term: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.55; long term; RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.14; both very‐low quality evidence), which corresponds to zero men with short‐term erectile dysfunction per 1000 (95% CI 80 fewer to 125 more) and 119 fewer men with long‐term erectile dysfunction per 1000 (95% CI 239 fewer to 64 more). We are very uncertain of these findings. Scheduled PDE5I may result in little or no effects on short‐term adverse events (RR 0.69 95% CI 0.12 to 4.04; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to seven fewer men with short‐term serious adverse events (95% CI 18 fewer to 64 more), but we are very uncertain of these findings. We found no long‐term data for serious adverse events.
Scheduled PDE5I versus scheduled intraurethral prostaglandin E1
At short‐term follow‐up, daily PDE5I may result in little or no effect on self‐reported potency (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.79, to 1.52; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 46 more men per 1000 (95% CI 97 fewer to 241 more). Daily PDE5I may result in a small improvement of erectile function (RR 1.64, 95% CI 0.84 to 3.20; very low quality evidence), which corresponds to 92 more men per 1000 (95% CI 23 fewer to 318 more) but we are very uncertain of both these findings. We found no long‐term (longer than 12 months) data for any of the three primary outcomes.
We found no evidence for any other comparisons and were unable to perform any of the preplanned subgroup analyses based on nerve‐sparing approach, age or baseline erectile function.
Authors' conclusions
Based on mostly very‐low and some low‐quality evidence, penile rehabilitation strategies consisting of scheduled PDE5I use following radical prostatectomy may not promote self‐reported potency and erectile function any more than on demand use.</abstract><cop>Chichester, UK</cop><pub>John Wiley & Sons, Ltd</pub><pmid>30352488</pmid><doi>10.1002/14651858.CD012414.pub2</doi><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record> |
