In the penis, there are both lesser cavernous nerves and a greater cavernous nerve. Clinical considerationsThese nerves are susceptible to injury following prostatectomy or genital surgery. Nerve-Sparing prostatectomy was invented for surgeons to avoid injuring the nerves and causing erectile dysfunction complications. During surgery, a doctor may apply a small electrical stimulation to the nerve and measure the erectile function with a penile plethysmograph.[2] This test aids the surgeon in identifying the nerves, which are difficult to see.[3]References1. ^{{Cite journal|last=Oakley|first=Susan H.|last2=Mutema|first2=George K.|last3=Crisp|first3=Catrina C.|last4=Estanol|first4=M.
