Pilot Trial: Pilot Study of Somatic-Autonomic Nerve Grafting Technique to Restore Erectile Function in Patients With Persistent Erectile Dysfunction Post Radical Prostatectomy
A single arm prospective pilot trial evaluating the safety and the 1-year erectile recovery outcomes of patients undergoing a somatic to autonomic nerve grafting procedure for restoration of erectile function in patients who have lost erectile function following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. During this study a total of 10 patients who have persistent erectile dysfunction for more than 18 months post prostatectomy will undergo a post radical prostatectomy nerve restoration procedure (PRP-NR).
• Patients with persistent post prostatectomy erectile dysfunction more than 18 months from prostatectomy and which results in the inability to achieve intercourse with the aid of PDE5-I medications.
• Patients must have had good pre-prostatectomy erectile function with a baseline IIEF score of ≥17 on self-reported assessment of historic function.
