Microstructural Disorders of Tunica albuginea in Patients Affected by Impotence

Structural alterations in the tunica albuginea of the penis: impact of Peyronie's disease, ageing and impotence

“…Recently, Iacono et al reported that there were fewer configuration constrains the fibres, leaving them no room to move, thus creating a focal area of dysfunction. elastic fibres in biopsy samples taken 2 cm away from the plaque in patients with Peyronie's disease [16]. This If these features are diffuse, the veno-occlusive function will be impaired.…”

“…Quantitative and qualitative alterations in the collagen post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in graded ethanol and propylene oxide, and embedded in Epon and elastic fibres may render the tunica unable to compress the subtunical and emissary veins adequately, 812. Randomized tissue blocks from patients with and without Peyronie's disease were thick-sectioned (1 mm) resulting in veno-occlusive dysfunction [16][17][18].…”

Collagen and Elastic Fibers in the Penis of Human Fetuses at 28 Weeks Postconception

“…Iacono et al [26] reported a significant decrease in elastic fibers in the tunica albuginea of impotent patients compared to a control group with normal erection activity. The authors also stated that the decrease in elastic fibers does not depend on the etiologic factor that causes impotence.…”

Complex Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction with Vascular Factor Deficit by Use of Pluripotent Fetal Stem Cells

“…The vessels and nerves of penis, cavernous sinuses and tunic albuginea are referred to as the main executive structures. These anatomic and histologic units assure erection on a physical level, and must maintain definite physical and chemical properties for this [4,5]. These structures adequate functioning will be possible if regulatory mechanisms work appropriately and are coordinated:…”
