Summary
This early study tests a new implantable device that stimulates nerves to help men recover natural erections after prostate cancer surgery. Twenty men aged 30-75 will receive the device during their prostate removal and be followed for 6 months. The main goals are to check if the device is safe and if it helps restore erectile function compared to a control group.
