title: [Intracavernous injections of prostaglandin E1 in the treatment of erection disorders].
abstract: Vasoactive drugs have been widely used for the treatment of impotence in the last years. Recently Prostaglandin E1 has been employed with success as a therapy in erection problems. The Authors have treated with Prostaglandin E1 209 patients complaining erection failure. Positive results were obtained in 155 patients (74,16%). No complications or side effects occurred. 129 patients of the 155 in which the test resulted positive were proposed a self-injection program and 115 accepted. Until now no side effects or complications occurred.
