Abstract
|
|
|
|
Penile necrosis is a very rare complication because of its rich collateral supply. Conservative management is apt to be ineffective; thus penectomy is usually performed. We present a case of penile necrosis and claudication of both legs with multiple atherosclerosis in a type II diabetes mellitus patient who was successfully treated with angioplasty, penoplasty, and additional intracavernous injections of prostaglandin E1. The treatment resulted in relief of the leg pain and healing of the penile ischemic lesions.
