ReviewA Review of Male and Female Sexual Function Following Colorectal Surgery.
Sexual function after colorectal surgery is a largely ignored topic. In patients being treated for colon and rectal cancers, the risk of sexual dysfunction after surgery is high and is influenced by multiple factors. ⋯ Sexual morbidity after treatment for colorectal cancer is common and inadequately addressed by healthcare providers in the preoperative setting.

ReviewNew and Emerging Technologies in Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms From Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) from bladder outlet obstruction from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occur in a large percentage of urologic patients. Treatment of this condition with medical and surgical therapy provides symptom relief but has serious adverse effects and causes sexual dysfunction. New technologies to treat BPH-associated LUTS aim to effectively treat urinary symptoms and minimize side effects and sexual dysfunction. ⋯ Many new technologies aim to treat LUTS from BPH and minimize sexual side effects. Most therapies remain experimental, although prostatic urethral lift and water vapor ablation therapy have been brought to market and show promise. Long-term durability of symptom relief remains to be demonstrated. Gupta NK, Gange SN, McVary KT.
