Conversion of Low-Flow Priapism to High-Flow State Using T-Shunt with Tunneling
Introduction. The three types of priapism are stuttering, arterial (high-flow, nonischemic), and venoocclusive (low-flow, ischemic). These are usually distinct entities and rarely occur in the same patient. T-shunts and other distal shunts are frequently combined with tunneling, but a seldom recognized potential complication is conversion to a high-flow state. Case Presentation. We describe 2 c...
متن کاملCaverno-saphenous shunt in the treatment of priapism.
The painful pathological condition of the penis, priapism, is usually associated with serious destructive changes which lead to impotence if treatment is with-held or delayed. Conservative therapy is slow, uncertain and usually ineffective. Early surgical decompression of the corpora cavernosa, repeated if necessary, is essential if impotence is to be averted. Two unusual cases of this conditio...
متن کاملAl-Ghorab Shunt plus intracavernous tunneling for prolonged ischemic priapism.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of the corpus cavernosum-corpus spongiosum shunt (Al-Ghorab Shunt) plus intracavernous tunneling (CC-CSS+ICT) for prolonged ischemic priapism (PIP). Twelve patients with PIP were enrolled in this study. The mean age of patients was 38.3 ± 9.2 years old and the mean duration of PIP was 2.8 ± 1.0 days (range, 1.5-4 days).

متن کاملPostpriapism erectile dysfunction and shunt-related urethral stricture: long-term morbidity after proximal shunt for ischaemic priapism
Recent guidelines have advocated for step-wise treatment of increasing invasiveness in the management of ischaemic priapism though with low-level evidences. In the past, proximal shunts were favoured as first-line treatment. We present an African man who had proximal shunt (cavernoso-spongiosal) three decades ago for ischaemic priapism and subsequently had long-term morbidity over the three dec...
متن کاملExtracorporeal transient distal penile corporoglanular shunt in early ischemic priapism treatment.
PURPOSE Ischemic priapism, which is a compartment syndrome, needs urgent treatment in order to nourish corpora cavernosa. As the first step, the aspiration of blood and/or the irrigation of the cavernosal bodies are performed to prevent fibrotic activity and secure erectile capability. While performing aspiration and irrigation, there are some risks of the procedure in which most refrained one ...
