For @entity1 erectile function is essential for quality of life. Besides urine incontinence postsurgical @entity323 ( @entity323 ) following radical prostatectomy (RPE) represents a significant and prevalent problem. One of the first approaches to this condition should be a consultation performed by professionals in a rehabilitation clinic.A total of 149 @entity1 post RPE participated in this prospective study. All @entity1 were questioned about their understanding of postoperative surgical @entity323 after RPE and if affected they were asked about their own psychological burden as well as their knowledge of possible therapy options. The qualities of presurgical @entity1 information as well as the modules of information pertaining to @entity323 during the rehabilitation were evaluated. Of the @entity1 , 53% expressed that they experienced a considerable burden due to postsurgical @entity323 during their follow-up rehabilitation (AR group) and 70% of the @entity1 during oncological rehabilitation treatment (rehab group). @entity1 who were sexually more active prior to surgery suffered more from postsurgical @entity323 than their less active counterparts. A negative correlation between psychological burden and age was found in the AR group, which however was levelled in the rehab group. Particularly in older @entity1 the burden of @entity323 increases with more time elapsing after the operation. The medical information on @entity323 therapy options provided during the inpatient rehabilitation was considered to be essential by 60% of the @entity1 in the AR group and 48% of the @entity1 in the rehab group.Therapeutic possibilities for postsurgical @entity323 following RPE cannot always be given to @entity1 in the preoperative phase or during their stay in the hospital.
