Background:
Male patients attending for follow up after aortic surgery have often commented that there has been a change in their sexual function.
Methods:
A survey of patients attending vascular outpatient clinic and private practice following aortic surgery was carried out by personal interview.
Results:
Of those who were sexually active before operation, 40% thought that there had been a diminution in performance and 11% thought that there was some improvement. Similar results have been found in other centres.
Conclusions:
Aortic surgery carries a risk of diminution in sexual function as a consequence of the operation. It is the duty of the surgeon to warn patients of this risk when seeking informed consent.
