Impotence Surgery

Sural nerve grafting (SNG) in patients who have undergone deliberate excision of one or both neurovascular bundles (NVBs) during radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), or after prostate surgery, has generated intense interest, and has been statistically proven in numerous studies.

Peripheral nerve injury to your cavernous nerve (one or both) may occur at any time during prostate cancer surgery. The injury might be minor in nature, similar to a bruise, or it might be an excision or cutting out of an entire segment of nerve in order to remove cancerous cells that may have infiltrated the tissue around the nerves causing after prostate surgery, impotence.
