Penile reinnervation in the treatment of iatrogenic erectile dysfunction in patients after radical prostatectomy
Introduction. Radical prostatectomy (RP) remains the main, iatrogenic cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) and, despite the development and implementation of modern methods such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, the relevance of ED after RP remains at a high level.
Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of a new penile reinnervation method using a n. suralis graft with distal fraying and end-to-side neuroraphy between the motor fasciculus of the femoral nerve and the cavernous body in patients undergoing RP.
