Abstract

Introduction & Background: Color Doppler ultrasonography (US) is the imaging modality of choice in patients with penile diseases. Ultrasonography has a well-established role in evaluating erectile dysfunction as well as penile trauma, scarring, deformity, and tumors. The normal postoperative anatomy and the pathologic changes that can occur in cases of surgical complications can be successfully investigated with US. Gray Scale (B Mode) and Color Doppler US clearly depicts the normal penile anatomy and postoperative changes. It is also effective in evaluating surgery-related complications and determining the causes of erectile dysfunction and other un-satisfactory longÂ¬term results. Color Doppler US is the imaging modality of choice in evaluating patients who have undergone penile surgery. Here we aim to illustrate the gray-scale and color Doppler US appearance of normal penis, discuss the main penile surgical procedures, recognize the typical US features of the postopera-tive penis, and describe the US appearance of various postoperative complications. Patients & Methods: This article is the result of evaluating 42 patients referred to the radiology ward of Hashemi-Nejad Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences in the years 2002 to 2005 for ultrasonography of penis to assess the penis after different penile surgical procedures (urethral surgery, correction of penile mal-formations, prosthesis implantation, vascular surgery for impotence, surgical management of priapism, phallic reconstruction). The US apparatus was Esaote Technos MP, with linear multifrequency 5-8.5MHz. transducer. Results: A variety of early and late surgical complications could be identified, such as extraalbugineal patho-logic fluid collections and fibrosis. Moreover, Doppler US of the penile vessels and vascular anastomoses fol-lowing revascularization allowed direct evaluation of flow characteristics, shunt patency, and venous en-gorgement. Color Doppler US was also particularly helpful in determining the causes of erectile dysfunction and other unsatisfactory long-term results following penile surgery. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that color Doppler US is the imaging modality of choice in evaluating pa-tients who have undergone penile surgery because it clearly depicts normal penile anatomy and postoperative changes.
