Cavernosography

D Velcek, J A Evans

|September 1, 1982

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Corpus cavernosography effectively diagnoses structural penile abnormalities causing erectile dysfunction. This imaging technique aids in identifying conditions like Peyronie disease and priapism, guiding treatment selection for male impotence.

Background:

Corpus cavernosography is a key diagnostic tool for various penile conditions.
It is particularly vital for evaluating male impotence and identifying organic erectile failure.
The procedure allows visualization of internal structural abnormalities within the corpus cavernosa.

Observation:

The study discusses normal penile anatomy and cavernosography procedures.
Seven case studies are presented to demonstrate the technique's utility.
These cases illustrate how cavernosography provides anatomical and physiological insights.

Findings:

Corpus cavernosography successfully visualized structural abnormalities within the corpus cavernosa.
The technique proved useful in diagnosing organic erectile failure.
