Abstract
Increased drainage from the corpora cavernosa hinders the erectile high-pressure system (Lue et al. 1983). Recent results of dynamic cavernosograms, measurements of intracavernous pressure, and the maintenance index of erection have shown that various leaks may exist alone or in conjunction with other lesions (Lue et al. 1983; Buvat et al. 1986; Lewis et al. 1986; Stief 1986; Porst and Ahlen 1986; Virag 1985; Wespes and Schulman 1985; Wagenknecht and Shukfeh 1986). Increased venous drainage is diagnosed on the basis of early and later camera exposures during cavernosography, glans appearance time, and maintenance index. If a maintenance flow of more than 100–140 ml/min is necessary for erection, a leak may be assumed to exist.
