| description | <p>Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) is the major etiological factor of neurological erectile dysfunction (NED). We reported a patient whose Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score was 7 (severe ED) and experienced a failed treatment of Tadalafil. NED was the final diagnosis made by examinations such as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), penile cavernous contrast and three-dimensional reconstruction and the penial dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential. Percutaneous cavernous nerve electro-stimulation was used as treatment for NED. After three courses of treatment, the IIEF-5 score was up to 18 points and the level of erection hardness was between grade III and IV. We concluded that percutaneous cavernous nerve electro-stimulation will be a new strategy to treat patients with NED with PFUI history.</p> |
