Hidden artery could be key to better sex life after prostate surgery

NCT ID NCT07597798

First seen May 21, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether saving a small extra artery to the penis during robotic prostate cancer surgery can help men recover erections. About 1 in 3 men have this artery, and the study will use MRI scans to find it before surgery. Researchers will follow 20-40 men for a year to see if preserving the artery improves sexual function and quality of life.
