Brief Summary

Purpose: The aim of this study is to measure the effects of penile revascularization surgery performed in vascular origin erectile dysfunction (ED) on penile vascular hemodynamic and to determine the importance of vascular parameters in postoperative patient follow-up. Methods: A total of 35 participants who underwent penile revascularization surgery due to vascular ED were included in this study. In the preoperative period and at the 3rd postoperative month, penile color doppler ultrasonography (PCDU) was performed to evaluate cavernosal arteries, dorsal arteries, deep dorsal vein and inferior epigastric artery (IEA) separately. During this evaluation, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive index (RI) were measured. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF) was applied to all patients in the preoperative period and at the 3rd postoperative month. The relationship between changes in (IIEF) questionnaire score and penile vascular hemodynamic changes in the postoperative period was evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The importance of resistive index in evaluating the postoperative success of penile revascularization

    Penile revascularization was performed in 35 cases with the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction of vascular origin. Both preoperative and postoperative international index of erectile function questionaire (IIEF) and penile color Doppler ultrasound (PCDU) were performed in all cases, and IIEF 5/15 scores and resistive index (RI) were calculated. After the operation, computerized tomography angiography (CTA) was performed to confirm anastomotic patency. The correlation between RI and IIEF was evaluated in the postoperative period. RI = 0.85 was accepted as the limit value to evaluate postoperative success. Cases with RI\>0.85 were considered successful and cases with RI\<0.85 were considered unsuccessful.

    3 months (Postoperative third months)

Study Arms (1)

Cases with erectile dysfunction of vascular origin

EXPERIMENTAL

Penile revascularization surgery was performed in cases with erectile dysfunction of vascular origin. Penile color Doppler ultrasonography, corpus cavernosum electromyography and cavernosometry tests were performed on all cases in the preoperative period and at the 3rd postoperative month. Penile computed tomography angiography was performed at the 3rd postoperative month.

Procedure: Penile revascularızation

Interventions

The importance of resistive index in the preoperative evaluation of vascular-induced erectile dysfunction, predicting the success of penile revascularization surgery, and postoperative patient management was investigated.
