The surgical treatment of the rectal pathology can cause genitourinary morpho-functional changes, which are the cause of temporary or permanent sexual dysfunctions. In relation to the complexity of the rectal pathology, the type of surgical approach and the radiochemotherapy, respectively the simple or complex vascular-nervous injuries determined intraoperatively, we considered it would be useful to present the types of sexual dysfunctions determined. Furthermore, despite the lesions caused intraoperatively to the pelvic anatomical structures in women and men, apparently inexplicable, certain individuals who were subject to surgeries maintain their sexual functions having a normal erectile tone or a semi-erection, a peculiarity that allows them to have a penile-vaginal intercourse in the presence of a vaginal cuff dehiscence. Over time, the erectile dysfunction determined in some individuals has progressively improved. The question thus arises: if the neurovascular branches are sectioned, why does erection, semi-erection, ejaculation and orgasm occur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
