Is there an optimal time for intracavernous prostaglandin E1 rehabilitation following nonnerve sparing radical prostatectomy? Results from a hemodynamic prospective study.

摘要: ABSTRACTPurpose: Previous studies have shown that early intracavernous prostaglandin E1 injection may reduce significantly the incidence of veno-occlusive dysfunction before spontaneous erections recover after nerve sparing radical prostatectomy. We identify more convenient postoperative timing for successful rehabilitation in a series patients who underwent nonnerve prostatectomy.Materials and Methods: A total 73 with normal preoperative International Index Erectile Function score were randomly allocated to undergo dynamic color Doppler ultrasound study 20 mg. at 1, 2 3, 4 6 7 12 months postoperatively, respectively. In all cases peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity resistance index evaluated 5, 10 minutes injection.Results: Of 36 received within first 3 (group 1) 37 it 2). signifi...
