[Penile vein surgery. A follow-up study of erectile dysfunction of presumed venous origin].
Forty patients who underwent penile venous surgery (PVS) because of suspected veno-occlusive dysfunction, were evaluated approximately 15 months (median) postoperatively as to their sexual capability. Although 47.5% were able to obtain penile rigidity, this was sufficient for intercourse in only 35%. Short-term subjective improvement was noted in 55% as opposed to long-term improvement in 35%. Analysis for predictive factors was negative. In conclusion, the indication for PVS should be reconsidered, as an insufficient theoretical concept might explain the low long-term success rate.
