Evaluating the Effect of the VCD on Erectile Function and Penile Length Post RRP
Evaluating the Effect of the Vacuum Constriction Device on Erectile Function and Penile Length Post Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy

The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized prospective study to evaluate whether the vacuum erection device facilitates an earlier return of erectile function post radical prostatectomy. A secondary measure will be to evaluate if the vacuum erection device can help prevent penile shortening.
