Results of glando-cavernous anastomosis in 18 cases of priapism.

Of 18 patients treated for priapism by glando-cavernous anastomosis, 11 obtained complete relief. Follow-up examination of the 18 patients has shown normal erectile function in 11 cases. It would appear that the chance of preserving sexual function is greater the better the immediate result of the operation obtained and the earlier the patients are treated.
