Intracorporeal needle breakage: an unusual complication of papaverine injection therapy for impotence
J Urol.
1992 Jan.
Abstract
We report an unusual complication of papaverine injection therapy for impotence. After 2.5 years of uneventful injections excessive syringe manipulation following needle insertion resulted in needle breakage and a retained intracavernous needle fragment requiring surgical extraction. A synopsis of the presentation, diagnosis and therapy is presented.
