latrogenic cavernous nerve lesions occurring during radical pelvic surgery often lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction. The nerve defects after excision of the neurovascular bundles must be reconstructed by interposition grafting to supply a permissive scaffold for oriented axonal regrowth. The use of autologous nerve grafts for the repair of human cavernous nerves during radical prostatectomy has been controversial regarding the limited success achieved with bilateral nerve grafting. Artificial nerve guides consisting of natural or synthetic materials have been successfully used for bridging peripheral nerve defects. The combination with Schwann cells, neurotrophic factors and extracellular matrix components has been shown to promote cavernous nerve regeneration.
