title: [Results and acceptance of corpus cavernosum autoinjection therapy in organic erectile dysfunction].
abstract: Ambulatory autoinjection therapy of the corpus cavernosum with a vasoactive drug combination for vasculogenic and neurogenic erectile dysfunction was performed in 50 men from 10/85-6/87. Acceptance was excellent by all patients and their wives. Transitory hematomas appeared in 6/50 (12%) cases. Local infections, cavernitis or systemic side effects were not observed. In 3/50 (6%) patients prolonged erections occurred. Treatment included drainage of the intracavernous blood, manual decompression and if necessary additional application of 1 mg metaraminol under extreme caution. Only 1 (2%) patient developed a nodular tunica fibrosis at the injection site which disappeared spontaneously upon cessation of treatment within 4 weeks.
