Priapism, a painful erection emergency, often requires surgery. Surgical treatment, particularly spongiocavernous fistulas like Al-Ghorab

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • Priapism is a rare urological emergency with a high risk of impotence.
  • Delayed treatment significantly worsens prognosis.
  • Surgical intervention is the primary management strategy.

Purpose:

  • To report the authors' 15-year experience managing priapism.
  • To analyze surgical outcomes and preferred techniques.
  • To highlight the efficacy of spongiocavernous fistulas.

Summary:

  • This study reviewed 16 priapism cases, with a mean patient age of 36 years and average consultation delay of 8 days.
  • Common causes included neuroleptics (37%) and idiopathic (37%).
  • All patients underwent surgery, with spongiocavernous anastomosis (Al-Ghorab's procedure preferred) achieving a 70% success rate, despite an overall surgical failure rate of 37%.

Impact:

  • Surgical management, especially spongiocavernous fistulas, offers a viable treatment option for priapism.
  • Early consultation and intervention are crucial to improve outcomes and reduce impotence risk.
  • The Al-Ghorab procedure demonstrates favorable success rates in managing this condition.
