Evidence-Based Guideline for Management of Priapism: Perspectives from AUA/EAU Guideline Panel – Summary:
Trinity J. Bivalacqua, MD, PhD, Director of Urologic Oncology at Johns Hopkins Medicine, reviews the process and development of AUA guidelines and discusses the major changes to the priapism guidelines with emphasis on surgical management. The AUA is releasing new guidelines for priapism in 2021 that will address knowledge gaps, including management of sickle cell patients, surgical management of acute ischemic priapism, and placement of penile prosthesis.
