Glans hyperemia after penile revascularization: a late complication following alpha-1-receptor blockade for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Surgical revascularization of the penile vessels is one treatment choice for patients with vasculogenic impotence. Hyperemia of the glans is a rare but severe complication which usually occurs early. We report a patient who developed this complication more than 3.5 years after surgery following onset of medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with a vasodilating alpha 1-receptor blocker.
