Article Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TURP on erectile function (EF) and ejaculatory function (EJF).
Methods: A total of 91 patients who underwent TURP were retrospectively assessed. Patients were divided into two groups based on International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5): group A included 41 patients with normal EF, and group B included 50 patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). All patients were evaluated for EF and EJF at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months after TURP by using IIEF-5, Ejaculatory Domain-Male Sexual-Health Inventory (Ej-MSHQ).
Results: In group A, there were no significant statistical differences in mean IIEF-5 at baseline and after TURP 22.88 ± 0.81 versus 22.63 ± 2.63 (p = 0.065). However, in group B, there was significant improvement in IIEF-5 after TURP all over the follow-up time points in comparison to the baseline (p = <0.001). The loss of EJF was significant among patients in group A. There was significant improvement of IPSS and Qmax in group A after surgery compared to group B.
Conclusion: The results confirmed that TURP has no significant negative influence on EF, and patients with preexisting ED were improved after TURP. On the contrary, the loss of EJF was significant.

Objective: In addition to hypogonadism, other endocrine disorders-particularly hyperprolactinemia-can significantly influence erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of normalizing prolactin (PRL) levels on erectile function in men diagnosed with ED and hyperprolactinemia. The primary outcome was improvement in IIEF-5.

Introduction And Objectives: High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with improved oncological outcomes across various cancer types, including prostate cancer. However, limited evidence exists regarding the impact of SES and lifestyle factors on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including quality of life (QoL), health status (HS), and functional recovery following radical prostatectomy (RP).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of 327 patients undergoing RP (177 open, 150 robotic-assisted) assessing pre- and postoperative functional outcomes (QoL, HS, erectile function, continence).
