title: Penile revascularization surgery in erectile dysfunction.
abstract: Anastomoses between the dorsal artery of penis and the deep penile artery are necessary for revascularization of penile arteries. Radiologic and anatomic proof is provided. Arterio-arterial anastomosis represents a risk factor for thrombosis. For its exclusion the necessary operative course of action is showed. By building an additional arteriovenous shunt close to the arterio-arterial anastomosis the risk of thrombosis is markedly decreased. Our technique produces good results in patients with diagnosed erectile dysfunction of vascular origin with a spontaneous erection when the occasion arises.
