Our experience with sacral evoked potentials in impotence.
Pudendal-pudendal and pelvic-pudendal sacral evoked potentials (ESP) were studied in 40 patients complaining of erectile impotence. Electromyographic results allowed us to recognize the organic cause of impotence in 4 men with visceral neuropathies. Sacral evoked responses extend our diagnostic possibilities in evaluating erectile impairment secondary to subclinical neurological abnormalities.
