    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Post-traumatic priapism patients were dissatisfied with initial treatments, even with restored erections. Surgical intervention for fluid drainage and tunic repair may improve sexual function outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Sexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Post-traumatic priapism is a rare but serious complication following penile trauma.
    • Current treatment strategies for post-traumatic priapism vary, with inconsistent outcomes.
    • Patient satisfaction and functional recovery remain key concerns in managing this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate patient satisfaction and functional outcomes following various initial therapies for post-traumatic priapism.
    • To identify potential improvements in surgical management for post-traumatic priapism.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 7 cases of post-traumatic priapism.
    • Analysis of initial therapeutic interventions and patient-reported outcomes.
    • Assessment of surgical approaches for fluid collection drainage and tunic repair.

    Main Results:

    • All 7 patients expressed dissatisfaction with initial treatment efforts, irrespective of the therapy type.
    • Erections were resumed in all cases, but functional satisfaction was low.
    • Surgical intervention targeting fluid collections and ruptured tunic correction was considered.

    Conclusions:

    • Initial therapies for post-traumatic priapism often lead to patient dissatisfaction, despite partial recovery of erectile function.
    • Surgical management, including drainage and tunic repair, appears warranted to potentially enhance sexual activity and patient satisfaction.
