The IIEF-5 questionnaire was administered preoperatively, and at 6- and 12-months postoperatively to assess erectile dysfunction severity. The EPIC database was queried to determine any postoperative complications and document prominent erectile dysfunction risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 79 patients included in the analysis, 42 (53.2%) completed the IIEF-5 at 6\u00a0months, and 62 (78.5%) completed it at 12\u00a0months. Eighteen had cervical stenosis only, 54 had lumbar stenosis only, and 7 had both. 72% (18\/25) of cervical stenosis patients and 83.6% (51\/61) of lumbar stenosis patients had erectile dysfunction preoperatively according to IIEF-5 responses. The average preoperative IIEF-5 score indicated significant presence of erectile dysfunction for both the cervical and lumbar stenosis groups. No significant differences were identified in IIEF-5 score deltas from pre- to both postoperative periods. The presence of erectile dysfunction in both the cervical and lumbar stenosis groups was not significantly associated with the presence of any documented risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results suggest no significant improvement in overall erectile function postoperatively for patients with preoperative erectile dysfunction.
