Vascular hemodynamic effects of penile revascularization surgery and the role of resistive index in follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the effects of penile revascularization surgery on penile vascular hemodynamics and to assess the utility of the resistive index (RI) as an objective parameter for postoperative patient follow-up.

Methods

This study included a total of 35 patients who underwent penile revascularization. Penile color Doppler ultrasonography was performed preoperatively and at the third postoperative month to evaluate cavernosal arteries, dorsal arteries, deep dorsal vein, and inferior epigastric artery. During these evaluations, peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and resistive index were measured. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire was administered before surgery and at the third postoperative month. In addition, corpus cavernosum el
