title: Percutaneous core biopsy of the penis.
abstract: To describe the efficacy of percutaneous core biopsy of penile corporal tissue, on ten impotent men, the biopsy was performed with a 19 and a 20 gauge core biopsy co-axial system using an automatic biopsy device. All biopsies were performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Adequate biopsy specimens were obtained in all. Percutaneous core biopsy of the penis is a safe procedure that is technically easy to perform.
