Ultrasound check for erection recovery after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether ultrasound imaging can help understand and improve erectile function after prostate removal surgery that aims to protect the nerves. If you’re interested in keeping or improving erections, your ultrasound results may be used to guide follow-up care.
