[A new method of surgical treatment of vasculogenic impotence].

The authors describe a method of surgical management of vasculogenic impotence consisting in the formation of an anastomosis of an autovenous shunt with the dorsal artery of the penis. To prevent revascularization of the cavernous bodies of the penis with the restoration of erection, the dorsal artery of the penis is divided transversely at the root of the penis, the distal end of the autovenous shunt is given the shape of a trapezium with the upper side sutured, after which the autovenous shunt is anastomosed end to end with both the distal and proximal segments of the dorsal artery of the penis at the lateral sides of the trapezium where the angles were not sutured. The method allows incompetence and thrombosis of the vascular anastomosis to be prevented, raises the efficacy of revascularization of the cavernous bodies of the penis by creating favourable hemodynamic conditions through separation of the blood flow into the distal and proximal segments of the dorsal artery of the penis, which provides retrograde supply of blood into the deep artery of the penis sufficient for adequate revascularization of the cavernous bodies.
