title: [Etiology and therapeutic possibilities of post-traumatic erectile impotence].
abstract: Based on 12 patients with posttraumatic erectile dysfunction due to pelvic fractures, ruptures of urethra and straddle-trauma, the diagnostic and therapeutic means in the management of erectile failure are discussed. The most frequent etiology encountered in posttraumatic erectile failure were combined arterial-neurogenic lesions followed by insufficiencies of the venae profundae penis as a sequelae of pelvic fractures or symphyseal ruptures. Promising therapeutic alternatives represent injections of cavernous bodies with vasoactive drugs, penile implants and also in suitable cases penile revascularization procedures.
