title: [Revascularization of the penis in cases of male impotence of vascular origin].
abstract: In arteriogenic erectile dysfunction, representing about 80 percent of all organic forms of impotence, a purely arteriogenic impotence is distinguished from a venous leakage. The former can be treated with promising results by means of arterial revascularization. In this respect it is worth mentioning that this form of impotence may also occur following pelvic surgery. Furthermore, diabetes mellitus at an early stage may be responsible for erectile dysfunction. A venous leakage, however, is not a disease of the veins but of the cavernous tissue. In most cases ischemic diseases are due to arterial lesions. In our experience have found that this disease can be treated with the chance of good results by means of our technique of arterial revascularization combined with penile banding.
