title: Arterially originated erectile disturbances: surgical possibilities and their alternatives--some personal thoughts.
abstract: The arterially originated erectile disturbances are the most common form of impotence due to morphological reasons. The concepts of therapy range from the surgical revascularization, to the intracavernous self-injection of vasoactive substances and to the implantation of penis prostheses. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed and weighed against each other.
