MODERN APPROACHES TO THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF NONISCHEMIC (ARTERIAL) PRIAPISM by S. K. Yarovoi, R. A. Khromov, O. V. Dzhalilov

“…The effectiveness of the technique in terms of stopping the pathological erection is close to 100%.Surgical tactics do not depend on the etiology of arterial priapism: posttraumatic and “non-traumatic” variants of the disease imply an absolutely identical approach.Expectant  tactics  regarding  arterial  priapism  are  the  subject  of  scientific  discussion.  Despite  the  possibility  of an independent cessation of pathological erection with arterial priapism, due to the risk of developing cavernous fibrosis, expectant management is appropriate only in children with undisputed posttraumatic etiology of the disease. …”
