I do not know of such a treatment but wanted to share that I am two months out from having my prostrate removed and am getting closer to my pre-op normal in terms of ED. I don't want to underplay the issue but in my case it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. I was also Gleason 7 before hand.

I had SBRT (At Sloan-Kettering it’s called MKS precise, because it’s MRI guided) almost a year ago. I have not lost any function, except that I no longer ejaculate. So far the PSA numbers continue to drop, and all looks good. I was Gleason 7; 3+4. I would certainly look into radiation exhaustively before considering having my prostate removed.

Nano knife procedure seams to be promising, I just don’t know who is doing it yet, still researching yet in my area
