title: Priapism: experience with the caverno glandular shunt.
abstract: Twenty cases of Priapism were managed surgically over a 3-year period with the A1-Ghorab modification of the caverno-glandular shunt. The procedure was simple and short. Except for post-operative bleeding in 2 patients, no major complications were encountered. Post-operative potency rate of 39 per cent was achieved. Late presentation and repeated previous episodes may have contributed to this low potency rate.
