52 patients rated their operation 0-9 and 69 patients rated their operation 10 on their follow-up visit. Of the 410 patients, 234 (57.1%) gave complete responses to the questionnaires before and after surgery, of whom 126 (53.8%) and 119 (50.8%) did not have severe erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction before surgery, respectively.
