  • Title: Intracavernous injection therapy for male erectile dysfunction.
    Author: Fallon B.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1995 Nov; 22(4):833-45. PubMed ID: 7483132.
    Abstract:
    Intracavernosal injection therapy has consistently produced erections in 60% to 70% of patients in whom it is tried. About 70% of patients enter long-term therapy and there is a dropout rate of 20% to 50% within the first year. The most effective current regimen is a mixture of papaverine-phentolamine and prostaglandin E1, that also seems to have a relatively low incidence of priapism and fibrous nodule formation. Patient education is vitally important to the success of a program. Patient satisfaction rates are high.
