Creation of caverno-glandular shunt for treatment of priapism.
Caverno-glandular shunt was performed in 8 patients with priapism during the past 3 years. Complete and sustained detumescence was achieved immediately in all patients. Only one case developed a complication, viz. cavernositis which responded to antibiotic administration systemically as well as locally. This procedure was performed under local anaesthesia in 5 patients. The technical details and advantages of this procedure over conventional operations for priapism are discussed.
