Shirin Razdan at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital in Miami stated that using placenta donations may help with erection recovery following prostate surgery. The technique's concept originated over a decade ago, according to the information provided.
Between 2014 and 2024, Sanjay Razdan used dried sheets of human amniotic membrane across 2560 radical prostatectomies. Each thin sheet employed in the procedure measured four by six centimetres.
For the 2560 men who received the membranes, the average time to the first erection after surgery was seven days. Conversely, the average time to first erection for the 1495 men who did not receive these membranes was fourteen days.
Furthermore, three months post-surgery, 75 per cent of men who received the membranes reported erections sufficient for penetration. In contrast, only 60 per cent of men who did not receive membranes reported sufficient erections for penetration at the three-month mark.
A study found no difference in cancer outcomes after an average follow-up period of eight years. Arthur Burnett at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Maryland stated that randomised clinical trials are necessary to confirm the benefit of amniotic membrane nerve wraps.
Currently, Shirin Razdan is trialling amniotic membrane nerve wraps for the treatment of Peyronie's disease.
