Summary
Ten patients with impotence due to venous leakage who had undergone resection of the deep dorsal penile vein (DDPV) without showing a good clinical late response underwent a second pharmacocavernometry/ graphy. In two patients we could no longer demonstrate leakage, and in three others we found a decrease in leakage. Eight times we observed persistent leakage through the remaining proximal part of the DDPV. In two patients we succeeded in restoring erectile potency by occluding the remaining proximal part of the DDPV with detachable balloons. Our findings suggest that better results can probably be obtained when the proximal part of the DDPV is occluded as well.
