Intraoperative penile erection during endoscopic surgery is a rare complication. Intracorporeal injection of phenylephrine effectively and rapidly resolves this issue with no reported complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Intraoperative penile erection during endoscopic surgery presents a significant challenge for urologists.
  • The etiology remains unclear, and established protocols for management are lacking.

Observation:

  • This rare event, occurring in approximately 0.1% of transurethral procedures, complicates surgical site access and patient safety.
  • A review of literature and case studies highlights the need for effective treatment strategies.

Findings:

  • A single intracorporeal injection of 250 micrograms of phenylephrine was administered to three patients experiencing intraoperative penile erection.
  • Rapid detumescence was observed in all patients following the phenylephrine injection.

Implications:
