These include tablets that increase the flow of blood into a penis causing an erection, sufficient for intercourse. Should these fail, intraurethral and intracavernosal devices are available. Should these also not work, there are mechanical treatment options e.g. penile prosthesis are available with high success rates . Quality of life, wellbeing and mental health are further supported by successes in these treatments. However, what has also been highlighted is lack of patient assessment for erectile dysfunction as part of the 'usual' post-operative care pathway .

This would not have included patient self-perception, self-esteem, or involving their partner as part of the process . Current studies indicate a much broader aspect needs to be taken . Also included are addressing self-esteem, sexual confidence, physical impact and effect on relationships . Men may also grieve as part of this process . Modern psychosexual care should take that into account . The area of psychosexual care needs to be further developed . In conclusion, a strong psychosexual pathway can address areas of care which would otherwise cause significant issues.

When stratified as high risk bladder cancer, transurethral resection (TUR) is the gold standard for initial diagnosis and treatment of non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) (Kamat et al. in Eur Urol 63(1):4–15, 2013). This chapter introduces high risk NMIBC and TURBT.
