Abstract:Consequently, irrigation of the spongiosum will depend on the dorsal penile arteries and retrograde flow from the glans. However, if the penile arterial blood supply is compromised, transection may result in ischemia of the bulb and failure of the reconstruction. To decrease this risk, we modified the EPA technique avoiding urethral transection to preserve the bulbar arteries. We report our long-term results with this vesselsparing posterior EPA approach (vspEPA).METHODS: Surgical Technique. The bulbar urethra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
