Özet
Purpose: We compared electrical activity of the corpus cavernosum after intracavernous papaverine and nitroprusside injections. Some aspects of the androgen modulator system in patients with veno-occlusive dysfunction are discussed. Materials and Methods: Electromyography of the corpus cavernosum was performed before and i day after intracavernous injection of 60 mg. papaverine and 400 μg. sodium nitroprusside in 22 patients with veno- occlusive dysfunction. Changes in duration and amplitude of electromyographic potentials were compared in groups with and without incoordination patterns. Results: The decreases in electrical amplitude and duration in 15 patients with a negative incoordination pattern, and increases in 7 with a positive pattern were more significant with intracavernous sodium nitroprusside than with papaverine injections. Conclusions: Electromyographic changes were more prominent with nitroprusside than with papaverine, which demonstrates the use of nitroprusside when performing corpus cavernosum electromyography.
