Abstract

The authors reviewed and analysed cavernosogams of 41 men with venous impotence to verify the multiplicity andto classify the main routes of leak veins. Among 41 cases the main routes of venous leaks were Proper CavernosalVein(27 cases[66%]), Deep Dorsal Vein(24 cases[59%]), Crural Vein (22 cases[54%] ), and Superficial Dorsal Vein(12cases[29%] ) in decreasing order. The multiplicity of leak veins were shown in 30 out of 41 cases(73%). To improvethe success rate of ligation of all leaking veins, cavernosograms are essential as a preoperative study to verifythe multiplicity and the main route of leaks.
