FJVIS 35. Sexual Dysfunction After Aortoiliac Surgery: Does Endovascular Repair Preserve Erectile Function?

Male sexual dysfunction after aortoiliac surgery is a distressing complication. Erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory function postoperatively are mainly related to the methods of exposure and dissection of the aorta and iliac arteries because it is the preferred passage area of the upper hypogastric plexus, the main crossroads of the pathways of sympathetic nerves with pelvic intent. The purpose was to determine the incidence of erectile dysfunction in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease and to compare the change in erectile function after open surgery and endovascular repair.
