Corpus cavernography prior to insertion of penile prostheses

Urology. 1977 Aug;10(2):142-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(77)90013-9.

Abstract

Our experience with corpus cavernography prior to the insertion of a penile prosthesis is presented. We suggest that this investigative procedure should be used as a routine to determine the patency of the "corporal tubes," particularly in patients in whom corporal fibrosis is a possibility, such as a previous episode of priapism.
