Key note speech at 5th Innovation shockwave conference in London
Venn Healthcare Innovation 2023 shockwave conference in London.
Did you had a morning erection today?
Sometimes you just have to have fun, so I popped that question, about 2 minutes into my keynote speech in urology
It was a delightful pleasure to present the options with shockwave and EMTT, in erectile dysfunction and Peyronies. Which elements to to put focus to, if you want successful outcomes.
But also to present one of my latest breakthroughs in non-invasive treatment of incontience. Which is really mindblowing.
I also learned a lot by all the talks during breaks and at the social dinners. Where we discussed new options with EMTT with the godfather of EMTT Ludger Gerdesmeyer.
Thankyou all participants and to Jonny, Sarah, Jenny, James, Thomas and rest of the team for making such a great event.
Gerard and Yves, see you soon in Liverpool for some good talks on how to bring shockwave and EMTT to the next level.
Benoy, Helen, stuart it was a pleasure finally meeting you.
Positive studies:
LI-ESWT is safe and effective for treating ED in PDE5I-R and PDE5I-NR groups. (Vinarov, 2019)
LIESWT can improve sexual and erectile function in patients with ED after RARP.
LIESWT may be a new option for penile rehabilitation (Hinati, 2023)
The IIEF-5 score and EHS improved in patients who underwent the procedure, with results maintained at 12 months of FU. (Cocci, 2023)
Differences regarding the EFD
Increasing energies may yield better results (Porst, 2020)
57% of the men who suffered from erectile dysfunction had an effect from LI-ESWT 5 treatment (Lund, 2013)
What to be aware of:
Li-ESWT is a valid but often short-lived treatment option for ED, especially in men with cardiovascular risk factors or controlled hypertension. (Sikic, 2022)
Conclusion:
ESWT for erectile dysfunction works for both vascular and neurogenic conditions, but lifestyle, comorbidities, and medication need to be taken into account for the total solution, which can include:
Intensity / Sessions depending on severity
PDE-5Inhibitors
Nutritional supplements
Vacum-devices
Pelvic floor exercise
Exercise
Smoking/alcohol reduction
Psychology approach/education
EMTT
The results will be similar to the client's tissue quality and motivation to work hard to change the lifestyle.
