Priapism, a persistent penile erection lasting longer than 4 hours and unrelated
to sexual activity, is one of the most common emergencies treated by urologists.
Priapism can be categorized as ischemic, recurrent ischemic (stuttering), and
non-ischemic. Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of various types of
priapism have led to targeted management strategies. This review aims to provide
an up-to-date picture of the pathophysiology and management of priapism. A search
of Medline and PubMed for relevant publications using the term "priapism" was
performed. In addition to the "classical" articles, emphasis was placed on
publications from January 2013 to September 2016 to evaluate the most recent
literature available. Though advances in both basic and clinical research
continue and effective treatment options are available, methods for the
prevention of priapism continue to be elusive.
