Testing an implanted device to help erections after prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a new implanted device is safe and tolerable to help improve erections after nerve-sparing prostate surgery. It may help men who want to reduce erectile side effects from prostatectomy, but it also excludes several groups who have erection-related problems or nerve issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 30 to 70
- You are planning a prostate surgery called nerve-sparing prostatectomy, when it’s medically appropriate
- Before surgery, your erection score is high enough (IIEF-15 erectile function domain 26 or higher)
- You have no nerve-related problems like spinal cord injury/trauma or certain nerve-degenerating diseases
- You have not had prior pelvic surgery or radiation, and you don’t currently have an implanted device

This trial tests a new implantable device designed to help men keep their erections after nerve-sparing prostate surgery. If you are having surgery for early-stage prostate cancer and have good erectile function now, this device might help you maintain it.
This study tests a new nerve surgery to help men regain erections after prostate cancer surgery. It's for men who have had moderate to severe erectile dysfunction for at least 12 to 18 months after their prostate removal.
This trial tests a penile rehabilitation program for men who have nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery. It aims to help improve erections and sexual function after the procedure.
This study tests a new nerve grafting method during bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy) to help preserve the ability to have erections. It is for men who have good erectile function before surgery and have not had previous pelvic surgery or radiation.
This study examines whether finding a small extra blood vessel (accessory pudendal artery) on imaging before nerve-sparing prostate surgery helps predict how well men recover erectile function afterward. The goal is to improve sexual health outcomes for men treated for prostate cancer.
This trial studies whether RestoreX penile traction can help preserve erectile function after a prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate), especially when nerves are spared. If you qualify, you may be asked to use the device and be followed over time to see how erections change.
