  • Title: Pelvic hemodynamics and male sexual impotence after renal transplantation.
    Author: Nghiem DD, Corry RJ, Mendez GP, Lee HM.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1982 Oct; 48(10):532-5. PubMed ID: 6753676.
    Abstract:
    Sexual impotence has been reported to increase sixfold after sequential renal transplantations. This study examined the effects of age, diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, uremia, arteriosclerosis, penile blood flow, and patency of hypogastric arteries on impotence. Sixty-one male transplant patients were followed up from six to 108 months. An age of greater than 40 years was the only factor deleterious to potency (P = .006). Interruption of both hypogastric arteries is not necessarily related to impotence. Post-transplantation male impotence is perhaps best treated by penile prosthesis insertion. A hemodynamic classification is proposed.
