Penile Necrosis by Longtime Installation of a Constriction Ring in a Patient using a Vacuum Constriction Device / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

A vacuum constriction device has been described as a safe and satisfactory treatment for erectile dysfunction. The main complications of the device are mostly minor symptoms and serious side effects are rarely reported. We report here on a case of wide ischemic necrosis of the penis including the skin, subcutaneous tissue, tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum by a constriction ring that had been installed for 72 hours in a 61 year old patient.
