title: [Treatment of cavernous venous incompetence by insertion of a pericavernous prosthetic band].
abstract: The authors present a series of 30 patients treated by pericavernoplasty involving insertion of a prosthetic venous tourniquet. At 1 year, 60% of the patients obtained a good result. The preoperative selection criteria were: impossibility of penetration without manual assistance, normal arterial Doppler and hormone assays, high erection induction and maintenance flow rates, failure of simple medical treatments and perineal rehabilitation. The current problem concerns the objective evaluation of the compliance of erectile tissues. A possible approach in the future could be cavernous biopsy, which would allow the proposal of either venous surgery or the immediate insertion of a prosthesis.
