OBJECTIVE
This article revisits the option of intracavernosal injection therapy for male erectile dysfunction.


CONCLUSIONS
Erectile dysfunction has attracted considerable interest and research. The recent availability of an orally effective medication (sildenafil) has brought about a paradigm shift in its management.
