OBJECTIVE: Many methods of microscopic penile revascularisation procedures have been employed over the past 2 decades for the treatment of @entity11539 , with varying success rates. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of deep dorsal vein arterialisation in the treatment of selected @entity1 with arteriogenic and mixed @entity11539 . METHODS: This involved a retrospective analysis of 6 @entity1 with @entity11539 who presented to Toa Payoh Hospital from December 1991 to November 1994 and had penile revascularisation surgery performed. All @entity1 underwent an extensive preoperative assessment, including dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography and selective pudendal arteriography. RESULTS: The 6 @entity1 were aged between 27 and 51 years (mean 44 years). 2 (33%) @entity1 had pure arteriogenic @entity323 , while 4 (66%) had mixed @entity11539 . Two @entity1 (33%) had excellent surgical outcomes and 2 @entity1 (33%) were considered improved. The mean follow-up period was 19.8 months (range 8 to 37). Complications were minimal. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that although the results of penile revascularisation are promising in carefully selected @entity1 , further studies with longer follow-up and more objective postoperative tests of hemodynamic and erectile function are needed to assess the true value of this mode of treatment.
