A new surgical technique for urethrectomy preserves erectile function. This approach, based on updated pelvic anatomy, offers hope for maintaining sexual potency in patients undergoing these procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Radical prostatectomy and cystoprostatectomy techniques have evolved to preserve erectile function.
  • Preservation of sexual potency after urethrectomy remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical approach for urethrectomy that aims to preserve erectile potency.
  • To address the unmet need for potency-preserving urethrectomy techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Modified urethrectomy technique informed by recent anatomical studies of the pelvic plexus and penile cavernous nerves.
  • Application of the technique in a clinical setting.

Main Results:

  • Successful preservation of erectile potency in 2 patients who underwent the modified urethrectomy.
