title: [The impact of creating andrology units on the treatment of erectile dysfunction with intracavernosal injections].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The impact of the creation of the andrology unit on intracavernous injection therapy for erectile dysfunction is analyzed in the present study.
  
  
  METHODS
  The records of patients treated by intracavernosal injection of vasoactive drugs for erectile dysfunction from 1990 to 1997 were reviewed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Demands for solutions to the problem of erectile dysfunction have significantly increased over the last decades. The efficacy of intracavernosal injection of vasoactive drugs in the treatment of erectile dysfunction has been demonstrated. After the creation of the andrology unit within the urology services, patient acceptance of treatment and compliance increased, and complications have diminished.
