Abstract:
In 15 of 18 patients, 2 of them with previous surgery, transpenile venoablation was performed for treatment of erectile dysfunction due to cavernous leakage. In 4 this was combined with retrograde venooclusion via the internal iliac vein. In 4 patients normal erectile status could be obtained. In 3 other patients erections became possible with use of intracavernous vasoactive agents. In two only mild amelioration, and in two others no change of erectile dysfunction were obtained. Follow-up studies are yet missing in 3 patients. Complications of the procedure were not observed.
