The Application of the Egydio Technique Post-Radical Prostatectomy and Penile Prosthesis Can Help Prostate Cancer Patients Recover Their Sexual Quality of Life. Learn More.
Radical prostatectomy is a surgery that removes the prostate and some surrounding tissues. Although it is a common and effective treatment for prostate cancer, the procedure can leave an unwanted consequence: erectile dysfunction.
Surgery with the Egydio technique post-radical prostatectomy is suitable for this type of consequence, as clinical treatments may not be effective for this patient profile. After the post-operative recovery of penile reconstruction with the Egydio Technique, the patient can expect significant results in terms of rigidity, length, thickness, and penetrative capacity of the penis.
Common Complications Post-Radical Prostatectomy
Surgery for prostate cancer treatment can leave some complications in patients. The most relevant are:
- Erectile dysfunction: difficulty or inability to have or maintain an erection in most sexual intercourse, due to nerve damage during surgery.
- Urinary incontinence: permanent or temporary difficulty in controlling urine release, due to nerve damage during surgery.
- Sterility: cessation of ejaculation due to the removal of the seminal vesicles during surgery. It is important to emphasize that a man can still achieve orgasm, even without ejaculating.
How Does the Egydio Technique Assist Patients with Peyronie’s Disease and Erectile Dysfunction Post-Radical Prostatectomy?
The surgery performed with the Egydio technique is an effective treatment for penile curvature, as it allows the expansion of penile tissues, enabling the implantation of a prosthesis that is anatomically larger and thicker than before surgery. This gives the man increased size and rigidity, improving penetrative capacity.
In practice, this means that, as a first step, the surgeon will make geometric microcuts in the membrane surrounding the corpora cavernosa. In this way, they can cause the tissues to expand in dimensions (length and diameter).
This step is important because many men with erectile dysfunction also present Peyronie’s Disease, and due to unsatisfactory penetration attempts. The impact with the partner’s body can cause penile fibrosis that leads to curvature, reduction in size, and caliber of the member.
In the second stage of the surgery, the penile prosthesis is placed.
It is important to highlight that the prosthesis is sized for the already reconstructed penis, with the new dimensions after undergoing the first surgical stage. This way, the surgeon can place the largest possible implant while respecting the anatomy of the member.
Advantages of the Egydio Technique Post-Radical Prostatectomy
The Egydio technique post-radical prostatectomy offers many advantages for patients who have just dealt with prostate cancer and can make a difference in resuming a full life. Check them out:
Restoration of Penile Functionality
The placement of the penile prosthesis is intended to provide additional rigidity to the penis. With it, a penis that previously had difficulty or could no longer become erect will be able to stay in position and perform penetration during sexual intercourse.
The penile prosthesis is erectile dysfunction-proof. Both the malleable and inflatable models are activated by the man at the desired moment to produce quality penetrative rigidity.
Precision in Penile Curvature Correction
The Egydio technique post-radical prostatectomy, combined with the prosthesis, allows treating not only erectile dysfunction but also possible penile curvatures formed from fibrosis resulting from erectile dysfunction.
Penile curvature is often accompanied by other penile deformities, such as loss of member size and penile thinning.
Improvement in Men’s Quality of Life
Erectile dysfunction tends to leave men with low self-esteem and self-confidence and cause damage to their sexual life. These negative feelings are even more intense after a period of treatment for such an aggressive disease as cancer. Therefore, it is expected that before surgery, the man is experiencing a decline in his quality of life.
With the placement of the prosthesis, he can regain his sexual life, a source of pleasure, well-being, and intimacy in the relationship.
The Egydio technique post-radical prostatectomy, combined with the implantation of the penile prosthesis, represents an efficient treatment for patients with erectile dysfunction after being cured of prostate cancer.
With satisfactory sexual intercourse and no penile deformities, male sexual health will improve, overcoming post-radical prostatectomy complications. For this, schedule a pre-analysis with Dr. Paulo Egydio.
