Stimulation Protocol

Stimulation Regions of the Prostate and Urethra

Stimulation sequence:
  1. Incise endopelvic fascia.
  2. Establish baseline response to stimulation at posterolateral urethra bilaterally with CaverMap™ Surgical Aid.
  3. Divide dorsal vein.
  4. Divide urethra.
  5. Upon visualization of neurovascular bundle, stimulate along lateral pedicles at apex, mid and base of prostate bilaterally with CaverMap™ Surgical Aid.
  6. Complete removal of prostate and seminal vesicles.
  7. Prior to anastomosis, stimulate proximally with CaverMap™ Surgical Aid (where lateral pedicles once joined the prostate) to confirm nerve function bilaterally.
