IntroductionCavernous malformations can result in erectile dysfunction and sex disability. Several treatment strategies are available, and we introduce a novel surgery method with vascular mesh.Case presentationA 23-years old man had a normal erection, but he could not perform coitus, and his penis bent. He was operated on for ventral chordee with a misdiagnosis of chordee and then treated with an injection of papaverine because of the misdiagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED), but the problem remained unsolved. We decide to have a novel surgery method using vascular mesh. Our surgery was completely successful, and our new method of surgery can take the place of penile implants for such cases.ConclusionsOur technique with vascular mesh can be considered the most efficient method to make the cavernous retain its normal function.
