ULTRASONIC DOPPLEROGRAPHY OF THE PENIS VESSELS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
The main violations of penile hemodynamics leading to the development of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction are structural changes in the vascular wall of cavernous bodies, insufficient arterial influx and excessive venous drainage. Erectile dysfunction among patients with chronic renal disease of stage V is multifactorial in nature. In chronic kidney disease there is a formation of endothelial erectile dysfunction. A number of researchers argue that an insufficient cavernous arterial inflow is a probable cause of erectile dysfunction after kidney transplantation and is associated with the type of vascular anastomosis used during surgical treatment. The choice of arterial vascular anastomosis in kidney transplantation affects the erectile function of patients with chronic stage V kidney disease. The use of ultrasonic dopplerography of vessels of the penis in patients after kidney transplantation is a noninvasive, highly informative way of diagnosing erectile dysfunction.
