Direct microsurgical approach to intracavernous tumors.
Tumors that are strictly intracavernous remain rare and their management is a subject of controversy. The authors describe the direct surgical approach to these lesions and consider this approach necessary to determine the exact nature of the intracavernous process. The subsequent treatment, radiotherapy in particular, will depend on this assessment.
