Title: Intracavernosal Papaverine and Phentolamine for the Medical Management of Erectile Dysfunction in a Genitourinary Clinic
Abstract: A total of 160 men with erectile failure received treatment with 13,030 intracavernosal papaverine and phentolamine injections as outpatients. One-hundred-and-fifteen (72%) achieved an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse and after a mean follow-up period of 14.1 months, 55 (48%) are still attending and successfully using intracavernous therapy. Sixteen patients had a total of 22 episodes of priapism and one patient developed corporeal fibrosis. We conclude that intracavernous papaverine and phentolamine is an effective therapy for erectile failure in a genitourinary clinic.
