“…5,7,9 Fresh cadaver studies of artificial erection by perfusion of penile arteries also demonstrated that dorsal penile arteries were adequate to perfuse whole penis through the anastomotic network. 14,15 In our case, however, the dorsal arteries seemed to be unable to perfuse the whole penis. Taylor et al, in their extensive work of vascular territories, described that the adjacent angiosomes were captured through the choke vessels.…”

A case of penile amputation in a heavy smoker who was treated by microsurgical replantation is presented. The penis was cut by a kitchen knife and the ischaemia time until revascularisation was 3 hours. Following successful microneurovascular repair the penis survived. However, a 3 cm portion of the ventral segment, including the corresponding urethral segment, sloughed. The adverse effects of nicotine on vascular anastomotic network in heavy smokers are well known and may be the cause of the partial necrosis in this case.

“…We might then confidently infer that the vascular sinusoidal smooth muscle cell system was not compromised by the freezing process, which supports the proposal that the sinusoids are dual venous systems within the corpora cavernosa (Banyan et al, 1989). We believe that our study is novel and will contribute to existing research concerning the hemodynamic response of the human penis (Reiss et al, 1982; Ghalayini, 2004; Ravipati et al, 2007; Komori et al, 2008; Nemark et al, 2008; Prieto, 2008).…”

The human erectile mechanism is an intricate interplay of hormonal, vascular, neurological, sinusoidal, pharmacological, and psychological factors. However, the relative influence of each respective component remains somewhat unclear, and merits further study. We investigated the role of venous outflow in an attempt to isolate the key determinant of erectile function. Dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography was conducted on 15 defrosted human cadavers, both before and after the systematic removal and ligation of erection-related penile veins. Preoperatively, an infusion rate of more than 28.1 mL/min (from more than 14.0 to 85.0 mL/min) was required to induce a rigid erection (defined as intracavernosal pressure [ICP] exceeding 90 mmHg). Following surgery, we were able to obtain the same result at a rate of 7.3 mL/ min (from 3.1 to 13.5 mL/min) across the entire sample. Thus, we witnessed statistically significant postoperative differences (all P # .01), consistently elevated ICP, lower perfusion volumes, and a general reduction in time taken to attain rigidity. The cavernosograms provided further evidence substantiating the critical role played by erection-related veins, whereas histological samples confirmed the postoperative integrity of the corpora cavernosa. Given that our use of cadavers eliminated the influence of hormonal, arterial, neurological, sinusoidal, pharmacological, and psychological factors, we believe that our study demonstrates that the human erection is fundamentally a mechanical event contingent on venous competence.
