In the early Seventies the direct revascularization techniques which create an anastomosis between an artery and the corpora cavernosa came to be so much in use that an era of so-called \"pure arteriogenic impotence\" seemed to be dawning. An arterial role in the pathogenesis of importance gained increasing support during that decade, as the use of a number of techniques for the diagnostic assessment of penile haemodynamics becomes widespread (Doppler ultrasound, determination of the penile-brachial index, selective hypogastric arteriography, penile radionuclide scan, penile plethysmography). Corpora cavernosa-direct revascularization techniques, such as the Epigastric-Corporal and Femoro-Corporal trans-Saphena anastomoses, were developed, the latter being proposed by Michal in 1973. By the late Seventies, however, most Authors had abandoned these techniques. Severe haemodynamic side-effects, such as uninterrupted intra-cavernous high pressure and attendant permanent tumescence of penis, were found to induce the microfibrosis of erectile tissues and the thrombosis at the site of the anastomosis. In this period, \"venous leakage\" became, with the advent of cavernosography, a recognized factor in the pathogenesis of impotence. However, the concept of venogenic impotence, characterized as it is by transient erection, and featuring pathological cavernosograms as well as high cavernometric figures, belongs more appropriately to a clinical syndrome and is, therefore far from being unambiguous. Arterial-arterial bypass and selective veins ligation were then introduced to treat cases of \"pure\" arteriogenic or venogenic insufficiency.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":8343,"journal":{"name":"Archivio italiano di urologia, nefrologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale dell'Associazione per la ricerca in urologia = Urological, nephrological, and andrological sciences","volume":"64 3","pages":"231-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12610796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the contrary in not congenital fibrosis of the 'corpora cavernosa' (Peyronie's disease, consequences of priapism, or trauma, complications of pharmaco-prosthesis) are allowed pharmaco-physical treatments (infiltrations, ionophoresis, ultrasound, laser). Pharmaco-physical therapy can be used as the only treatment, which is often resolutive, but it is also useful before or after the surgical operation of the 'corpora cavernosa'. These diseases can give disorders of the erection, until complete impotence is reached. In fact the erectile tissue can't expand, because of the rising fibrosclerosis. Among acquired fibrosis of corpora cavernosa I.P.P. has surely the greatest recurrent: the consistency of our series made possible to achieve significant results with a unified therapeutical protocol. The same management was applied in other, less frequent, penile fibrosis, always with full positive results even if on a small number of patients. We are evaluating a new drug (defibrotide) in the treatment of cavernosal vasculitis.

In the eighties, the experience gained with the use of Intra Cavernous Injections (C.I.D.) (using papaverine, phentolamine and prostaglandin), demonstrated not to be an exclusively palliative therapy (\"pharmacological prosthesis\"), but to represent as well a sort of \"vasoactive exercise\" of the erectile tissue. In the nineties, many wondered what could be a valid alternative to the C.I.D. Taking this into consideration, we modified the method of application of Vacuum Therapy. The device was used once a day without the constrictive band applied to the penis root, in order to generate a passive action on the erectile tissue, a sort of \"stretching\" for the smooth muscle fibers. From January 1990 to December 1991, we treated 78 pts. afflicted by erectile failure. The patients were divided into 3 groups (26 each) of distinct therapy: the first was treated weekly with only endocavernous papaverine administration (20 mg.), the second underwent daily Vacuum Therapy exclusively (10'-15') and the third received a combined therapy: Vacuum Device, daily and C.I.D. with Papaverine (20 mg.) once a week. The results of this treatment are as follows: the patients who underwent Vacuum Therapy daily (2nd and 3rd groups) showed, at the end of the treatment (6 months), a significant improvement in spontaneous erectile ability (14 Pts.-53.8% in the 2nd group; 17 Pts-65.3% in the 3rd group).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":8343,"journal":{"name":"Archivio italiano di urologia, nefrologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale dell'Associazione per la ricerca in urologia = Urological, nephrological, and andrological sciences","volume":"64 3","pages":"267-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12610803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
