[Treatment of organic impotence. Self-administered intracavernous injection of papaverin HCI (a preliminary report)].
Intracavernous injection of 40 mg papaverin HCI caused erection sufficient for intromission in all six cases of organic impotence. The patients were taught to self inject one corpus cavernosum just prior to coitus and reported that they were able to have coitus at home. No complications were encountered. This method should be tried first as an alternative to penile implant for patients with organic erectile failure.
