Anastomotic Repair versus Free Graft Urethroplasty for Bulbar Strictures: A Focus on the Impact on Sexual Function

Table 3

Mean paired differences (Δ) of the 5-Item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and Ejaculation/Orgasm Score (EOS). The standard deviation is provided between brackets (FGU = free graft urethroplasty; AR = anastomotic repair).
