Mol Urol. 1999;3(2):135-139.

Transurethral pharmacotherapy (TUPT) for the treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction has demonstrated moderate efficacy with an excellent safety profile. Unfortunately, the initial clinical efficacy of transurethral alprostadil (TUA) has led to physician and patient dissatisfaction with this treatment...

Current concepts in the management of post-radical prostatectomy impotence.

Current opinion in urology

McMahon CG.
PMID: 17039073
Curr Opin Urol. 1998 Nov;8(6):535-40. doi: 10.1097/00042307-199811000-00010.

Erectile dysfunction after radical retropubic prostatectomy has a multifactorial aetiology, including both neurogenic and vasculogenic factors. Postoperative potency is improved with preservation of the neurovascular bundles in a nerve-sparing procedure. Preoperative and intraoperative identification and preservation of accessory pudendal...
