[Venous leakage--a new therapeutic concept].
According to our opinion, so-called venous leakage is not a venous disease but a result of impaired cavernous tissue. Since in over 90% of all patients with venous leakage arterial disease has also been discovered, and since in addition ultrastructural degenerative processes have also been detected in the cavernous bodies, we consider the traditional treatment in the form of venous surgery unphysiological and illogical. We suggests arterial revascularization combined with mechanical penis banding as a new therapeutic concept.
