Summary

This pilot study will evaluate the safety and 1-year erectile function recovery in 10 patients undergoing a novel Nerve Restoring Radical Cystectomy (NR-RC), which includes a genitofemoral nerve graft. Erectile function will be assessed using IIEF-5, SF-MPQ, and CEEF questionnaires at baseline and at multiple post-operative intervals (4 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months). Safety will be monitored through peri- and post-operative complications, and additional demographic and clinical data will be collected for analysis.

Conditions
