Pre-operative ventral hernia is predictive of fascial dehiscence in high-risk cystectomy patients

Abstract

CONCLUSIONS: Anastomosing the cavernosal arteries may augment corporal inflow, which is necessary for erection. While the dorsal arteries are critical for distal penile skin perfusion, the external pudendal artery should be used in proximal transplantation to ensure adequate shaft skin perfusion. Each of these arteries has a distinct and seemingly important perfusion territory that should be considered in the setting of penile transplantation.
