Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A single arm prospective pilot trial evaluating the safety and the 1-year erectile recovery outcomes of patients undergoing a somatic to autonomic nerve grafting procedure for restoration of erectile function in patients who have lost erectile function following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. During this study a total of 10 patients who have persistent erectile dysfunction for more than 18 months post prostatectomy will undergo a post radical prostatectomy nerve restoration procedure (PRP-NR).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators are proposing a single arm prospective pilot study evaluating the safety and the 1-year erectile recovery outcomes of patients undergoing the PRP-NR procedure. A total of 10 patients will undergo the PRP-NR procedure, which is a novel nerve grafting procedure which will utilize a graft of the ilioinguial nerve to perform a bilateral end to side connection between the dorsal penile nerve and the corpora cavernosa with the intent to restore erectile function. Participants will have a baseline evaluation with IIEF-5 and SF-MPQ questionnaires, and then will have re-evaluation with these questionnaires at their standard of care post operative visits at 4 weeks, 3-, 6-, 12-, 18- and 24- months. Post operative safety will be assessed by recording any clinically detected complications during their peri- and post-operative care.
