Abstract
Treatment of carcinoma of the penis depends on the stage of the tumor, which is mainly clinical. A corpus cavernosogram was used preoperatively in 10 patients with carcinoma of the penis to assess the involvement of the corpus cavernosum, an important criterion in staging. In all 10 patients the involvement could be assessed correctly by this procedure, later confirmed by histology, and there were no complications. This is a safe, simple and valuable procedure to obtain additional information to stage correctly penile tumors preoperatively and plan the level of resection during penectomy.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
