Summary

The provider creates a passage through which blood flows out of the corpora cavernosa to the head of the penis. A lesser flow of blood in erectile tissue lowers the penile rigidity and averts or treats a priapic condition. The provider may use a biopsy needle, rongeur, or punch instrument to perform the procedure.
