Popis: The authors suggest their method for prognosticating the risk of formation of erectile incompetence after reconstruction of the aortoiliac segment. In 78 patients with Leriche's syndrome and maintained erectile function 13 qualitative parameters were determined before the operation (the degree of intermittent claudication, the duration of the disease of the lower limbs, the results of ultrasonic dopplerography and angiography), which were then converted to quantitative discrete characteristics. The obtained set of characteristics was used for prognosticating the condition of the sexual function after the operation by means of the familiar methods of regressive analysis on a personal PS/XT computer according to a program of multidimensional regression in the packet of programs. Clinical tests confirmed the high accuracy of the prognosis of the value characterizing the condition of the sexual function by this method. Such prognostication makes it possible to substantiate with high authenticity the expediency of combined revascularization of the lower limbs and cavernous bodies of the penis and opens real prospects of improving its results.
