|September 1, 1996
Abstract
Purpose:
Special attention has been focused on the contribution of the ischiocavernosus muscles to intracorporeal pressure during erection.
Materials And Methods:
Length of the ischiocavernosus muscles and corpora cavernosa was studied in 30 cadavers.
Results:
A biomechanical model for calculating interference of the ischiocavernosus muscles in rigidity during the initial phase of penile erection is proposed.
Conclusions:
We found that, among other things, intracorporeal pressure can be influenced by the ischiocavernosus muscles during erection.
