Visualization and Optical Manipulation of the Erectile Tissue, Penile Corpus Cavernous.

Erectile responses in reproduction have not been analyzed extensively because of the limitation of their visualization analyses of inner penile structure and its dynamic changes. In addition, the complex and rapid changes of erectile responses require new manipulation techniques suitable to regulate erected and flaccid status. The current review describes novel strategies for the above visualization of erection and regulation of the erectile responses.
