Abstract:
Male sexual function represents a many-sided effect. The disturbances aredeveloped in variable degress. Impotency after excision of malignant tumours occurs in each second patient and after anterior resection is in a third of patients observed. A modest chance for recovery is possible.

This way is less likely to cause injury to the nerves in the critical areas.
