Intracavernous injection of noradrenaline to interrupt erections during surgical interventions.
Injection of a small dose of noradrenaline in one corpus cavernosum caused quick detumescence in 10 children and 7 adults with disturbing peroperative erections. The mode of administration is simple, and complications have not appeared. As this therapy has always been effective and avoids the need for deeper anesthesia, we dare to recommend it as first choice treatment for peroperative erections.
