Effects of unilateral/bilateral amputation of the ischiocavernosus muscle in male rats on erectile function and conception

Abstract: Background The ischiocavernosus muscle (ICM) encompasses a pair of short pinnate muscles attached to the pelvic ring. The ICM begins at the ischial tuberosity and ends at the crus of the penis while covering the surface of the crus. According to the traditional view, the contraction of the ICM plays an auxiliary role in penile erection. However, we have previously shown that the ICM plays an important role in penile erection through an indirect method of diagnosing erectile dysfunction (ED) cau… Show more

“…Penile erection heavily depends on the integrity of the penile tissue (Andrade et al, 2012). Besides vascular problems, other pathologic mechanisms could play a significant role in erectile dysfunction (Moreland, 2000;Gou et al, 2022). An understanding of the elastic fibers system in the penis would improve the basic scientific knowledge of the composition and organization of the penis structures that play a key role in the mechanism of erection (Andrade et al, 2012;Sam & LaGrange, 2022).…”
