| Popis: | Erectile dysfunction is an established, well known risk of any operative management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, there are some cases reported in which surgical treatment has paradoxically improved erectile function. Here, we present a systematic review of the literature pertaining to the effect of surgery on sexual function, focusing on reports of improvement in erectile function following surgery.We searched PUBMED, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, and SCOPUS databases for the following keywords: (("sexual function" OR "erectile function") AND "improvement" AND "benign prostatic hyperplasia" AND "surgery").Sixteen studies (totalThe majority of studies report no change in erectile function following surgical intervention for BPH. There seems to be no obvious correlating factor between the studies reporting an improvement in erectile function. Further research is needed to guide us in how to consent our patients for erectile function outcomes for BPH surgery. |
