Background: A refined penile venous stripping has been found effective in treating Erective Dysfunction (ED) for nearly three decades. It appears more viable chronologically while several modifications have been made. We sought to report on the most advanced method. Materials and Methods: The study included 98 male patients treated from February 2003 to March 2006.
