Several treatments exist, including cavernosal aspiration, washing with or without alpha-mimetic agent or shunting surgery. In case of failure of these methods or prolonged priapism (> 36 hours), the option of early penile prostheses implantation should be discussed with a motivated patient in order to improve sexual satisfaction.
