Material and Method
12 patients who applied to our clinic for erectile dysfunction in the last 1 year and accepted this study were included . Preoperative two-dimensional shear wave elastography imaging was performed in 12 patients and recorded in the Pascal (kPa) unit. Approximately 0.5x0.5x0.5 cm tissue samples were taken from the right and left spongy tissue during penile prosthesis implantation operation. Tissue samples were sent to the pathology department. The percentage of the area covered by muscle fibers and elastic fibers in the corpus cavernosum was noted semi-quantitatively (ratio of muscle fibers and cavernous body elastic fiber score). All data obtained were compared with each other.
