[What can be expected from the ligation of the deep dorsal vein of the penis in the treatment of caverno-venous impotence? Report of a series of 21 cases]

Abstract

21 patients with venous vasculogenic impotence were treated by ligation of the dorsal vein of the penis. 71% of the patients were improved after 8 months, but only 53% were still improved after 25 months. However, this simple operation can be proposed palliatively to patients selected on the basis of cavernosometry, in combination with other medical treatments.
