Erectile dysfunction criteria of 131,350 patients after open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical prostatectomy
ConclusionsThe reverse systematic review demonstrated that the robot-assisted radical prostatectomy showed higher rates of erectile function recovery at all times analyzed (1 –>18 months), in relation to the retropubic radical prostatectomy and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. TheErection Sufficient for Intercourse criterion was the most used in the literature and showed the lowest bias capable of influencing the results and favoring any of the techniques and might be the fairest option for future comparisons.

The usefulness of shear wave elastography in evaluating erectile dysfunction severity before and after prostaglandin E1 test
Nagoya J Med Sci. 2024 Feb;86(1):104-109. doi: 10.18999/nagjms.86.1.104.ABSTRACTProstaglandin E1 intracavernous injection test is an established method for diagnosing erectile dysfunction. However, the evaluation is non-objective and often influenced by the evaluator's subjectivity. Herein, we measured and objectively evaluated shear wave elastography results of the corpus cavernosum before and after injection in 16 patients who underwent prostaglandin E1 testing. The response score of prostaglandin E1 tests were "1" in 2 cases, "2" in 2 cases, and "3" in 12 cases. The average transmission velocity before the injection and...
