En el priapismo isquémico agudo, el shunt corporoglanular distal es una intervención quirúrgica de primera línea estándar dirigida a restaurar el drenaje y lograr la detumescencia peneana. Cuando ese objetivo no se alcanza, está indicado un abordaje de segunda línea definido.
In patients with acute ischemic priapism who failed a distal corporoglanular shunt, clinicians should consider corporal tunneling.
As an adjunct to needle- or scalpel-based opening of the distal end(s) of the corpora, instrument passage (typically a dilator) into the corporal tissue has been used to further facilitate drainage and detumescence.
This concept of using surgical dilators to evacuate ischemic clotted blood from the proximal crura of the penis through a distal shunt aims to re-establish blood flow.
