Experiences with priapism.

P J Moloney, G B Elliott, H W Johnson

    The Journal of Urology
    |July 1, 1975

    Summary

    Saphenous bypass surgery for priapism offers good results if performed within 36 hours. Prior aspiration and irrigation may extend this treatment window for priapism relief.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Male Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • Priapism, a persistent erection, requires timely intervention to prevent long-term complications.
    • Traditional treatments for priapism have varying success rates and potential side effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of saphenous bypass surgery in treating priapism.
    • To investigate the role of prior aspiration and irrigation in managing priapism.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 11 patients treated with saphenous bypass for priapism over a 10-year period.
    • Assessment of functional outcomes based on the timing of intervention and prior procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Good functional outcomes were consistently achieved when saphenous bypass was performed within 36 hours of priapism onset.
    • Aspiration and irrigation prior to bypass appeared to extend the viable treatment interval.
    • Persistent graft patency was linked to subsequent impotence, necessitating potential shunt ligation.

    Conclusions:

    • Saphenous bypass is an effective treatment for priapism, particularly when initiated early.
    • The technique of aspiration and irrigation may facilitate spontaneous detumescence by creating temporary veno-cavernous communication.
    • Close monitoring for impotence is crucial post-surgery, with a recommended 3-month window before considering shunt ligation.
