Purpose: The aim of this study is to measure the effects of penile revascularization surgery performed in vascular origin erectile dysfunction (ED) on penile vascular hemodynamic and to determine the importance of vascular parameters in postoperative patient follow-up. Methods: A total of 35 participants who underwent penile revascularization surgery due to vascular ED were included in this study. In the preoperative period and at the 3rd postoperative month, penile color doppler ultrasonography (PCDU) was performed to evaluate cavernosal arteries, dorsal arteries, deep dorsal vein and inferior epigastric artery (IEA) separately. During this evaluation, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive index (RI) were measured. The International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF) was applied to all patients in the preoperative period and at the 3rd postoperative month. The relationship between changes in (IIEF) questionnaire score and penile vascular hemodynamic changes in the postoperative period was evaluated.
