a Transverse section image at the level penile shaft showing (1) the bilateral corpora cavernosa connected with each other at the midline, (2) the corpus spongiosum was located on the ventral side and relatively smaller than the corpora cavernosa, (3) the dorsal penile vessels, (4) the two deep layer vessels of the superficial fascia were axially distributed at the lateral of the penile shaft in the area between 9- to 8-o’clock and 3- to 4-o’clock positions. (5) Innumerable superficial layer vessels of the superficial fascia were distributed at the surrounding of the penis to supply blood to the skin. b Transverse section image at the level of the glans showing (1) the corpora cavernosa separated by the (2) baculum, (3) showing the dorsal penile vessels. (4) The deep layer vessels showed a transverse distribution and formed a ‘ring-like structure’ at the junction of the inner and outer prepuce. The ‘ring-like structure’ was oriented from bilateral (5) the deep layer vessel of the superficial fascia
