Impotence after Aorto-Iliac Surgery: Current Concepts

Abstract
A retrospective study of 38 male patients undergoing aorto-iliac reconstructive and abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery was performed. The study demonstrates the deficiency in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative evaluation of these patients regarding the factors affecting impotence. Recommendations are made, and a flow sheet is compiled to assist the vascular surgeon in the evaluation and management of these patients.
