Study Overview

Brief Summary

This research aimed to explore the impact of spinal and general anesthesia on penile length during surgery.

Detailed Description

Penile length and erectile function are complex physiological processes influenced by an interplay of neural, vascular, and hormonal factors. The process of penile erection involves the relaxation of smooth muscles in the corpora cavernosa, leading to increased blood flow and penile engorgement.

Erectile dysfunction (ED), a prevalent condition in men, has been associated with numerous risk factors such as age, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injury.
