Penile Revascularization

Penile Revascularization

What is Penile Revascularization?

Penile revascularization is a microsurgical procedure designed to restore blood flow to the penis in men with vascular erectile dysfunction, often caused by trauma or arterial blockage.

Who is a Suitable Candidate?

  • Men with arterial blockage to the penis confirmed by vascular testing
  • Younger patients with localized vascular injury or trauma
  • Patients without generalized vascular disease or severe diabetes
  • Those seeking a surgical alternative to implants

How the Procedure is Performed

  • Performed under microsurgical techniques
  • Damaged or blocked arteries are bypassed or reconnected to improve blood flow
  • Precision required to preserve penile tissue and function
  • Procedure typically lasts 2–4 hours under general anesthesia

Expected Benefits

  • Improved erectile function
  • Natural erections without the need for implants
  • Preservation of penile sensation
  • Long-term restoration of vascular health in selected patients

Recovery

  • Hospital stay: 1–2 days
  • Avoid strenuous activity and sexual activity for 4–6 weeks
  • Follow-up vascular assessment to confirm improved blood flow
