title: Chemical prosthesis.
abstract: The approach to patients suffering from erectile failure includes medical and sexual anamnesis, Doppler ultrasound, Jonas erectiometer and Sacral Latency Test. At present, the use of papaverine directly in corpora cavernosa seems indicated in performance anxiety dysfunctions used together with psycotherapy and in slight arterial deficiencies, diabetes, after destructive pelvic surgery and in neurological lesions. From January 1986 we have performed 150 I.C. injections of papaverine. Experience in 60 patients is described. Seven patients are now self-injecting.
