title: [Continuous monitoring of nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity in the evaluation of erection disorders. Preliminary data].
abstract: Nocturnal penile tumescence measurements continues to be an important step in the diagnosis of impaired erectile function. We present our experience with this technique employed on 65 patients who consulted at our andrologic center. Our results corroborate the importance of the NPR-R test with the Rigi-Scan in the evaluation of this pathology to ensure these patients receive the most appropriate treatment.
