[Our experience in high-flow priapism due to uni-or bilateral arterio-lacunar fistula]. / Nuestra experiencia en el priapismo de alto flujo por fístula arterio-lacunar uni y bilateral.

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience in both uni-and bilateral priapism, highlighting good results obtained with supraselective embolisation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present 5 cases of high-flow priapism secondary to perineal trauma, with a mean age of 31 years (24-43 years). The mean time to presentation from the moment of the trauma was 18, 6 days (1-60 days). Diagnosis was confirmed through gasometry of the corpora cavernosa, penile Doppler ultrasound (2 cases) and selective arteriography of the pudendal artery. In all cases treatment was by supralective embolisation with gelatin sponge. In the two bilateral cases, embolisation was performed in the same act. RESULTS: In the short-term was a recovery of flaccidity and in the long-term (3-4 months) a recovery of erection with no fibrotic sequelae of the corpora cavernosa. CONCLUSIONS: Embolisation of the lacerated artery, in a single procedure in cases of bilateral lacerations, provides excellent results.

Objetivo: Presentar nuestra experiencia en el priapismo de alto flujo tanto uni como bilateral, resaltando los buenos resultados obtenidos con la embolización supraselectiva. Material y método: Presentamos 5 casos de priapismo de alto flujo secundarios a traumatismo perineal, con una edad media de 31 años (24-43 a). El tiempo medio de consulta desde el momento del traumatismo fue de 18,6días (1-60 d). El diagnóstico se confirmo mediante gasometría de los cuerpos cavernosos, eco-doppler peneano (2 casos) y arteriografía selectiva de la pudenda. En todos los casos el tratamiento fue la embolización supraselectiva con esponja de gelatina. En los dos casos bilaterales la embolización se realizo en el mismo acto. Resultados: A corto plazo fueron la recuperación de la flacidez y a largo plazo (3-4 meses) la recuperación de la erección sin secuelas fibróticas de los cuerpos cavernosos en todos los casos. Conclusiones: La embolización de la arteria lacerada, y en caso de que sea bilateral en un solo tiempo, reporta excelentes resultados
