Abstract

|
During the last several years, cavernosography has been commonly used to demonstrate the hemodynamic abnormality of the corpora cavernosa. But this was recognized as a less obvious, physiologic and objective study.
So recently a more ideal method has been introduced and resulted in the determination of the procedure entitled Dynamic Infusion Cavernosometry and Cavernosography (D.I.C.C.). The D.I.C.C. is done in four phase: Phase I involves the determination of equilibrium corporal body pressure and time required to reach the plateau. Phase II involves the determination of the rate of fall of corporal body pressure from a control pressure (150 mmHg) over a defined observation period (30 seconds). Phase III involves the determination of cavernosal artery systolic occlusion pressure and finally phase IV involves the cavernosography at a predetermined corporal body pressure (90 mmHg).
Now, this procedure is performed as the first invasive erectile function test in those individuals considered candidates for vascular reconstruction of their erectile problem.
