Abstract
- A total of 43 spinal cord injury patients with erectile dysfunction was placed on intracavernous injection of papaverine alone for one year. Thirty nine patients were able to obtain an erection adequate for penetration and 41 achieved transient functional penile erections after injection of papaverine. Of the 39 responders 20 patients practice self injection as a method to restore erectile function. Three episodes of priapism occurred in 3 patients and all patients were treated with aspiration of corpora. Two patients developedlocalized Intracorporeal induration and 5 suffered ecchymosis on injection site. We believe that intracavernous papaverine injection is a useful method for erectile impotence in men with spinal cord injury.
