title: [Apical ulceration of the glans penis in hypervascularization syndrome. Sequelae of revascularization operation in erectile dysfunction].
abstract: We report on a hypervascularization syndrome of the glans penis with localized apical ulcerations, which occurred after the unusually long period of 3.5 years after revascularization surgery (Hauri technique) for erectile dysfunction. Hauri's operation, a relatively new procedure, combines arterial revascularization and arteriovenous shunting, and only in rare cases it is rare for the complication of postoperative hyperaemia with ulceration of the glans penis to be encountered. Since the ulceration was resistant to conservative treatment, healing could only be achieved by ligation of the shunt.
