Laparoscopically assisted penile revascularization for vasculogenic impotence.
Young patients with impotence and cavernous arterial insufficiency resulting from trauma-induced arterial occlusive disease are ideal candidates for microvascular arterial bypass surgery. To avoid the long abdominal incision required to harvest the inferior epigastric artery, a laparoscopic approach was used. We report a case of laparoscopically assisted penile revascularization for vasculogenic impotence.
