title: Cold saline enema in priapism--a useful tool for underprivileged.
abstract: Priapism, prolonged painful erection of the penis, is a urological emergency. Untreated, the patient can end up with impotence. Various methods have been described for its treatment but the initial management remains conservative. This study presents our experience with the use of sedation followed by an ice-cold saline enema in the management of priapism.
