title: Quantitative functional outcomes of the conservative management of partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum.
abstract: The low incidence of partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (PSTCC) means its management is guided by isolated case reports. Erectile function is an important outcome that has not been described quantitatively in the literature. We present two cases of PSTCC managed conservatively. Although both patients reported resolution of local symptoms, formal analysis of sexual function at follow-up review has revealed that only one achieved complete recovery.
