Venous leak and erectile dysfunction – an important differential

Abstract: Congenital venous leak or veno-occlusive dysfunction is an important cause of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction, posing a significant challenge to urologists. To date no medical therapy exists for the treatment of this condition, whilst surgical management options are based on resection or ligation of the offending venous drainage with a significant decline in efficacy with follow-up exceeding 12 months, perhaps as a consequence of collateral drainage. This review article highlights the importance of veno-occ… Show more

“…Emissary veins from the infrapubic (fixed) portion of the penis drain the proximal CC 12 and coalesce to form the cavernosal and crural veins of the deep venous system 4,10,12 . The cavernosal and crural veins are located between the crus and the bulb of the penis 12 and combine with the urethral or bulbar vein 1,12 to drain into the IPV 1 (Figure 5A). The urethral vein may join with the bulbar vein to form a common bulbourethral vein, which also empties into the IPV 9 …”

“…The inner layer forms a complete circular tunic, in opposition to its outer longitudinal layer 1,10 where a deficit in fibres exists at its point of contact with the corpus spongiosum. 1 An incomplete, perforated septum exists between the cavernosal bodies, allowing them to function as a common entity. 9,10 Only a single layer of tunica albuginea surrounds the corpus spongiosum.…”
