Penile erection complicating transurethral surgery
Abstract
Introduction
While penile erection is a rare occurrence under general and spinal anaesthesia, it can lead to complications for transurethral surgery. Such complications include excessive bleeding and damage to the urethra. It can also result in delay or postponement of surgery. Studies in humans and animals have attempted to understand this phenomenon and management strategies have been developed, should it occur.
