| pubmed-article:4023083 | pubmed:abstractText | Impotence following venous stripping has been rarely reported in the French of Anglo-Saxon literature. The authors report a new case, which was investigated by means of a full psychological, clinical and paraclinical survey. The aetiology appears to be related to the intra-operative ligation of the external pudendal artery, an hypothesis which has already been proposed, but without any objective evidence. The authors describe, for the first time, a simple and original methodology of selective compression to be performed routinely during Doppler flow studies of the penile arteries, which greatly increases the quality and the reliability of the information obtained. | lld:pubmed |
