Postoperative hyperemia of the glans penis with ulcers following revascularization surgery for vascular impotence.
A case of postoperative hyperemia of the glans penis following revascularization surgery for erectile impotence is described. This new surgical concept (Hauri) combines arterial revascularization with an arteriovenous shunt. The so-called 'postoperative hyperemia of the glans penis' is observed in 10-20% of the cases after arterialization of the dorsal penile vein, i.e. a pure arteriovenous shunt, and in 2-3% of the cases in arterioarterial anastomoses. The ulcers of the glans penis, which occurred 1 year after the operation, healed under careful local anti-inflammatory and antibiotic therapy.
