I do not hold out much hope of return of potency sufficient for normal

intercourse, even with therapy (electro-stim, homeppathic Arnica +

Hypericum, etc).

 

Unless I am mistaken, cutting the nerves to the prostate, as in radical

prostatectomy without the nerve-sparing techniques, leaves most men

permanently impotent. See: http://tinyurl.com/da8wo

 

Hanged men can have a partial erection due to blood congestion in the

lower half of the body, but that erection is little use to anyone!

 

Normal erection is due to autonomically controlled vascular congestion

of the penile vessels and corpora cavernosa. With no functional

autonomic control, erection are not possible.

 

Temporary compression of venous return may give a partial erection

but the methods needed would discourage most men. Viagra

 

www.cornellurology.com/cornell/sexualmedicine/ed/prostatectomy.shtml

says: " The causes of ED after this form of surgery include nerve injury,

artery injury or deterioration in erection tissue structure and function

after surgery. In 1997, Dr. Montorsi from Milan, Italy completed the first

study looking at early postoperative preventive drug therapy for this

problem. Immediate therapy after surgery, using penis injections,

administered within the first two months of surgery resulted in a 67%

incidence of return of a man?s own erections compared to 20% in men

who had no treatment after surgery. The concept is that these erections

induced after surgery can protect the erection tissue itself and promote

the return of a man's own erections. There is a strong body of opinion

that suggests that men with poor erections after radical prostatectomy

should be treated with medications to induce erections early after

surgery. It is unknown at this time if the administration of sildenafil that

fails to cause a rigid erection after radical prostatectomy can increase

the chances of a man's own erections returning " .

 

I would refer that man to an expert sexologist; even then, his chances of

funtional recovery are slim, IMO.
