Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify key anatomic structures that should be preserved to decrease postoperative anejaculation after Aquablation. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study design using patient data and operative video logs from Aquablation clinical trials. Cases were sexually active participants with functional baseline ejaculation and postoperative anejaculation. Controls were sexually active…
