Purpose: The aim of this report was to conduct a
systematic review of corpus cavernosum abscess case reports documenting the
etiological agents and outcomes following treatment.
Materials
and Methods: We searched the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases for
English-language articles published until September 2021 and performed a
systematic review according to the 2020 PRISMA protocol. The primary outcome
was to determine the erectile dysfunction rate, and the secondary outcome was
to report the presence or worsening of penile deviation following corpus
cavernosum abscess management.
Results:
We found 376 reports and included 41 studies with 42 patients in the systematic
review analysis. Thirteen cases (30.9%)
reported a first episode or worsening of erectile dysfunction after hospital
discharge; five cases (11.9%) developed or had an exacerbated penile deviation
during the follow-up.
Conclusions: It is not
possible carry out a systematic review with the current literature. Further
prospective studies evaluating the proportion of compromised tissue,
standardized therapeutic measures, and adequate follow-up should be conducted
to better elucidate proper care for these patients.
