New ultrasound technique may better predict erection recovery after prostate surgery
NCT ID NCT05109208
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study at Mayo Clinic is testing whether a special ultrasound technique called vibroelastography can better assess erectile function recovery in men after prostate cancer surgery. The technique measures tissue stiffness, which may indicate scarring. Ten men with low-risk prostate cancer and good baseline erectile function will be enrolled. The goal is to see if adding this test to standard ultrasound provides useful information.
