Executive Summary
US Medicare has decided not to cover a test that is used to determine whether the nerves linked to sexual function in men have been damaged following prostatic or colorectal surgery. The test, known as cavernous nerves electrical stimulation with penile plethysmography, uses a special sensor to measure a change in penile girth when intact nerves are stimulated.
