Abstract:
The treatment of priapism, although considered a urologic emergency, has been historically diverse and often unsuccessful. We propose a method of corporeal aspiration and irrigation in an entirely closed system for priapism refractory to conservative measures. The advantages of this system are a reduced risk of body fluid exposure and corporeal contamination and the capacity for extended irrigation without repeated corporeal puncture.
