Non-incisional therapy for priapism

A H Bennett, R N Pilopn

    The Journal of Urology
    |February 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study shows that non-incision treatments for priapism, including hypotensive anesthesia and the Winter procedure, can be effective. These methods offer a successful alternative to surgical shunts, preserving patient potency and reducing hospital stays.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Priapism, a prolonged erection, requires prompt management to prevent complications like erectile dysfunction.
    • Traditional treatments often involve surgical intervention, carrying potential risks and complications.

    Observation:

    • Seven patients with priapism were treated over four years using a non-incision program.
    • Treatment modalities included hypotensive anesthesia with sodium nitroprusside, the Winter procedure (cavernospongiosum shunt), or a combination of both.

    Findings:

    • Successful management was achieved in all seven patients without noted complications.
    • Five of the seven patients maintained pre-priapism potency post-treatment.
    • Hospitalization was brief, averaging 1.4 days, with most patients discharged the day after treatment.

    Implications:

    • Non-incision treatments may be sufficient for priapism, potentially negating the need for operative vascular shunt creation.
    • These less invasive approaches offer a favorable safety profile and preserve erectile function.
    • This approach could lead to reduced healthcare costs and improved patient outcomes in priapism management.
