“…ED developed in 25 of 39 patients (64.1%), and 14 patients (35.9%) remained potent after the procedure. Universal and often transient impotence immediately after the procedure was expected because of the damage that occurs to the neurovascular bundles [9]. No urethral strictures, rectourethral fistulas, or chronic pelvic pain was reported.…”

“…When patients who failed radiation and those treated without the original urethral warmer are excluded, cryosurgery has achieved incontinence rates of 2% or less. 22,26,27 A study published by Robinson et al, 28 which reported on the quality of life of patients following cryosurgery, showed return of urinary function to baseline status in all patients by 1 year following the procedure.…”

“…However, total gland ablation with freezing of both neurovascular bundles has a significant negative impact on sexual functioning. 28 The high rate of impotence with cryosurgery is a major disadvantage compared with nerve-sparing RP and brachytherapy in the management of patients who are interested in maintaining sexual functioning. In our experience, total cryosurgery has the same impotency rate as non-nerve-sparing RP, virtually 100% in the short and intermediate term.…”
