title: [Value of sclerotherapy in the treatment of certain types of impotence caused by venous leakage].
abstract: Certain types of impotence, primary or secondary, are due to an "escape" through the superficial venous network of the penis, connecting distally with the femoral veins. Until now, the treatment was surgical and marred with recurrences. The use of sclerotherapy on these superficial veins enables their "closure" which is elegant, fast, almost painless, effective and inexpensive, leading to the cure of the disorder and a normal erection.
