Extracorporeal corpus-venous shunting for priapism.
We report a case in which extracorporeal circulation was used as an alternative to other forms of corpus-venous shunting and resulted in complete detumescence and maintenance of potency. The relative simplicity and the ability to repeat the procedure in cases of recurrent priapism suggest this as a reasonable form of treatment in patients who do not respond to conservative measures.
