Impotence after aorto-iliac surgery: current concepts.
The retrospective study of 38 male patients undergoing aorto-iliac reconstructive and abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery was carried out. The study demonstrates the deficiency in the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative evaluation of these patients regarding the factors affecting impotence. Recommendations are made, and a flow sheet is compiled to assist the vascular surgeon in the evaluation and management of these patients.
