Transplanting a segment of nerve can awaken the sleeping cavernous body. Recently, a reporter learned from the "2011 Yangcheng International Andrology Forum" that nerve transplantation has been introduced into China to help restore sexual function after radical resection of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients no longer need to worry about postoperative ED
A 5 mm sural nerve was cut from the patient's lower leg and transplanted between the severed ends of the erectile nerve to repair the damaged nerve fibers. After 1 month, sexual function could be restored. "The sural nerve is a commonly used donor for repairing nerve defects in clinical practice." It belongs to the same type of somatic nerve as the erectile nerve, and can play the same role after transplantation. "In addition, there is now a nerve monitor that can synchronously monitor the progress of nerve transplantation surgery." Whether the surgery has any effect can be seen immediately, "Gaoxin said.
The reporter also learned from the meeting that the technology of erecting genitals has become very mature, and patients undergoing surgery can control their erectile time automatically after surgery, which also has great attraction for men other than ED patients. "This is a means of treating diseases and cannot be used to create 'sexual superman'."
He pointed out that prosthesis implantation is the last line of treatment and is a last resort option. For patients with ED after resection of prostate cancer, drug therapy and physical therapy are still the first choice at present. They can first transplant erectile nerve and undergo drug treatment. If it fails, then consider performing stent implantation surgery.
