[Sexual complications from superficial venous surgery].
Post-surgical erectile dysfunctions of superficial veins of the lower limbs are seldom reported. It seems to be due to the fact that they are ignored. In most cases, one has to find their origins in an abnormality of arterious distribution towards sexual parts: one or several of these latters come from common femoral veins and their colaterals (the external pudendal arteries) and not from hypogastrics (and internal sexual arteries). Therefore, it is necessary to take care of external sexual arteries during Scarpa's dissections in male patients in order to avoid the possible occurrence of a partial secondary or total impotency.
