Blocks of Nerves of the Trunk
Published in Bernard J. Dalens, Jean-Pierre Monnet, Yves Harmand, Pediatric Regional Anesthesia, 2019
The dorsal nerve of the penis runs over the deep surface of the perineal membrane, just above the internal pudendal artery. It passes under the pubic bone, through the substance of the suspensory ligament of the penis, gives off a small branch which pierces the perineal membrane and supplies the corpora cavernosa, then accompanies the dorsal artery of the penis at the inner aspect of Buck’s fascia, close to the corpora cavernosa, and ends in the glans penis. During its course, it divides into numerous branches which supply the skin of the penis, the glans, and the frenulum.
Genitourinary and trunk

Dorsal artery of the penis – supplies the corpus spongiosum, skin, fascia and glans (hence an anastomosis exists between the artery to the bulb and the dorsal artery). The arteries run either side of the deep dorsal vein in the groove between the corpora cavernosa.

Most previously published studies did not assess the effect of urethroplasty on erectile function. Knowledge of the topographical anatomy of structures (both vascular and neural) involved in erectile function suggests that these may be damaged during urethroplasty. Specifically, risk of damage to the terminal branches of the dorsal artery in the penis, the branches of the dorsal nerve of the penis and the pudendal nerve as has previously been addressed [21]. That is why this study also focused on the evaluation of erectile function after surgical treatment. We observed post-operative improvements in erectile function as measured by the overall IIEF-5 score. This observation has been further supported through interviews during the follow-up visits, where a clinically significant improvement in erectile function after surgery was reported by the majority of the patients. We believe that 12-month follow-up data on erectile function are valid. At this time point the healing after the surgery is completed and the patient can adequately judge the effect of USS on his erectile function. With the longer follow-up we would need to consider age-related deterioration of erectile function. Our results correlate well with previously reported data from the meta-analysis published by Feng et al. [22], indicating that USS does not lead to deterioration of erectile function.

The length of the vessels was calculated using the ‘Embolization Guidance’ application, from the IPA’s origin all the way until the vessel bifurcate (Bif) into the dorsal artery of the penis and into the bulbourethral artery: also, segments of the IPA between its origin and the RB division, and between the RB division and IPA’s final bifurcation, were measured.
