title: Venous surgery in veno-occlusive dysfunction: long-time results after deep dorsal vein resection.
abstract: Follow-up of patients 1 year after deep dorsal vein resection gives evidence of an approximate 50-60% success rate. A careful selection of only this small percentage of patients, in whom abnormal drainage through the penile dorsum is obvious, is mandatory. Men with an arterial cofactor have to be excluded or to be subsequently treated by intracavernosal autoinjection of vasoactive substances. Late results from our study demonstrate a further loss of sufficient erection, also in men considered as persistent success by us, in the subjective view of the patient and/or his sexual partner.
