  • Title: The hemodynamic influence of the ischiocavernosus muscles on erectile function.
    Author: Claes H, Bijnens B, Baert L.
    Journal: J Urol; 1996 Sep; 156(3):986-90. PubMed ID: 8709380.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Special attention has been focused on the contribution of the ischiocavernosus muscles to intracorporeal pressure during erection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Length of the ischiocavernosus muscles and corpora cavernosa was studied in 30 cadavers. RESULTS: A biomechanical model for calculating interference of the ischiocavernosus muscles in rigidity during the initial phase of penile erection is proposed. CONCLUSIONS: We found that, among other things, intracorporeal pressure can be influenced by the ischiocavernosus muscles during erection.
