    Abstract:
    In examination of 50 patients with impotence, pathological venous drainage (PVD) was revealed in 11 of them. Perfusion graded cavernosometry/cavernosography is the only method by which PVD can be detected and studied thoroughly. Analysis of the cavernosograms revealed a sphincter of the deep dorsal vein of the penis, the dysfunction of which in 10 of the 11 patients was the cause of PVD; in 5 of these patients the dysfunction was combined with excessive development of the subcutaneous veins of the penis. In one patient PVD was caused by a large venous trunk which emptied into the ostium of the left major subcutaneous vein. The 11 patients underwent operation after which they returned to a normal sex life.
