Surgical exclusion of the crural ending of the corpora cavernosa: late results.

Abstract

Twenty-three patients with corpora cavernosa incompetence responsive to perineal compression were submitted to surgical exclusion of the crural ending of the corpora cavernosa. There were two mild complications: perineal hematoma and incisional pain for 10 days. At the end of the first month, 65% of the patients claimed better erections, and the late good results were 47.7%, with an average follow-up period of 18.9 months. Three of the failed cases were later submitted to a penile prosthesis implantation.
