[Technic for the indirect revascularization of corpus cavernosum in sexual impotence from distal arterial origin by double epigastro-veno-cavernous fistula].

A new technique of indirect revascularization of the corpora cavernosa in patients with sexual impotence of distal arterial origin is described. It consists of a termino-lateral anastomosis between the epigastric artery and the deep dorsal vein of the penis, followed by a latero-lateral anastomosis between that vein and one of the corpora cavernosa. This double epigastro-venous and veno-cavernous fistula has proved effective and has given satisfactory functional results in 5 patients followed up for a mean period of 12 months.
