[2 cases of priapism treated by cavernous body shunts]

The authors present their personal experience in connection with two cases to priapism, one of which was solved by unilateral saphenocavernous anastomosis in a leukemic patient, and the second one by bilateral caverno-spongious anastomosis in a patient with idiopathic priapism. Both interventions had a good outcome. The emergency character is stressed, of this type of intervention, that should b performed bilaterally and followed by anticoagulant treatment.
