Research Notes on Vascular Reconstructive Surgery
Vascular reconstructive surgery is performed to improve the blood supply of the penis in attempts to improve a man's ability to get and maintain an erection. Because the procedure is technically difficult, costly and not always effective, it is very rarely performed.1
Fast Facts:
- It may restore function in 50% to 75% of men.2
- Only a small percentage of men may be candidates for this surgery.1
- Involves bypassing blocked arteries by transferring an artery from an abdominal muscle to a penile artery so that it creates a path to the penis that bypasses the area of blockage that is inhibiting blood flow to the penis.1
