Since 1873, when a hypertonic solution was injected into the large penile vein in an attempt to treat impotence and resulting in reduced venous drainage away from the corpora cavernosa, there has been much controversy concerning the most ideal milieu for applying Pascal’s law as it relates to this area of study. Because many males are not responding to standard medical therapy (including PDE-5 inhibitor, intracavernosal injection therapy, and coil embolization etc), a penile venous stripping seems to be a unique treatment.8 Nevertheless, for those with erectile dysfunction that remains resistant to less-invasive treatments, penile implant remains the final solution.
