There is no current way to evaluate, diagnose, and treat damage to the smooth muscle
Also, complete elimination of all tobacco use; selection of this therapeutic approach after presentation to the patient of all alternative therapeutic choices as contrasted to the longterm success rate of 40 to 50 percent for venous surgery for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Also, normal cavernous arteries on the color duplex doplar studies or second phase of DICC; determination of a faulty veno-occlusive mechanism as determined by a specific complex test - infusion pump or gravity cavernosometry; location of the site of isolated venous leakage from the corpora cavernosa on cavernosography studies. The following criteria have been used for recommending a vascular procedure - usually a venous ligation procedure - to treat a veno-occlusive disorder: a patient complaining of very short duration erections; failure to initiate or maintain an erection from the intracavernous injection protocol with different agents and sexual stimulation. Less well-understood are the key factors that influence a good outcome with veno-occlusive surgery. Arterial revascularization may have a very limited role in those rare individuals with congenital vascular occlusions or in young males with obstructed, isolated arteries secondary to trauma. Longterm results have been less than satisfactory with only about 50 percent of the patients having satisfactory outcomes.
Over the past 15 years great strides have been made in attempting to revascularize the penis in individuals with arterial occlusion or leakage of blood from the venous drainage system of the erectile cylinders (veno-occlusive disorders). An accurate comparison of results using different surgical techniques has been difficult.
There is wide variation in surgical results and longterm return to normal potency following this surgery, probably due to a variety of surgical techniques. There is still controversy as to the type of test and sequence of tests best utilized to diagnose veno-occlusive disorders. The three main arguments against this approach include: Venous occlusion is dependent on arterial inflow and relaxation of the smooth muscle in the erectile cylinders; therefore, it is possible that poor venous-occlusion may reflect a problem with the sinoid smooth muscle. Even though veno-occlusion is a crucial part of the normal erection, there is no consensus that venous-occlusive surgery is a reasonable therapy. Again, it should be emphasized that it is the rare patient who should even be offered this procedure.
