title: Erectile dysfunction due to venous incompetence treated by dorsal vein ligation.
abstract: The authors describe 14 cases of erectile dysfunction. The sites of leakage were detected by duplex or colour flow Doppler sonography. Treatment by dorsal vein ligation resulted in fairly good early responses, however, at 4-month follow-up the great majority of patients returned to the original functional state.
