New technology in surgery abnormal venous drainage of the corpora cavernosa

Abstract

Venogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is 20 to 60 % of all causes of erection problems. In most cases, the choice of surgical treatments depends on the degree and pattern of vascular disorders in the genesis of ED. The authors use the alternative treatment procedure X-ray endovascular occlusion of veins in the prostatic plexus. There is a significant improvement in the quality of erection in the first 3 months after surgery. The application of this innovative technology permits safe, mini-invasive and pathogenetically sound treatment for ED caused by abnormal venous drainage from the cavernous bodies.
