Abstract
- Intracavernous self-injection of vasoactive agents for erectile dysfunction has been widely used in recent years due to its effectiveness and low rate of complications. Intracorporeal needle breakage during intracavernous self-injection represents an unusual complication. We report a case of intracorporeal needle breakage during self-injection of prostaglandin E1 in a 61-year-old man.
