Penile vein ligation for corporeal incompetence: an evaluation of short-term and long-term results.

Dynamic cavernosometry and cavernosography can be used to identify patients with corporeal venous incompetence as a cause of erectile dysfunction. We reviewed our series of 16 patients with venous leakage who underwent surgical correction of the specific abnormality identified on cavernosography. Short-term and long-term results were obtained, and while at least temporary improvement was noted in 89.5% of the patients the long-term results tended to show a reversion to the preoperative status in the majority.

Progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and impotence.

Scleroderma, a connective tissue disorder involving multiple organ systems, can be a causal factor in erectile dysfunction. Cases are presented where arteriographic and biopsy evidence supports this. Awareness of this association could make possible an early diagnosis and influence treatment choices. Corpus cavernosum biopsy has been utilized to this end.

Needle biopsy in the diagnosis of testicular leukemia in children.

Aggressive chemotherapy in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia has resulted in a marked upsurge in patient survival. In the course of their management, testicular biopsy and rebiopsy have an important role. We evaluated the histological findings in 50 sets of open wedge and simultaneous needle core biopsy specimens from 44 testes of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to determine the accuracy of the needle biopsy technique in the evaluation of testis involvement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We conclude that needle biopsy of the testis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is highly accurate and correlates well with the conventional open wedge biopsy, and it may have a role in the management of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
