Functional Evaluation of Penile Hemodynamics

Prognostic Factors for the Postoperative Outcome of Penile Venous Surgery for Venogenic Erectile Dysfunction

“…All patients at our impotence clinic undergo a comprehensive approach 17 regarding the etiology of the erectile dysfunction, including a case history, physical examination, blood laboratory studies, sexual case history (performed by a psychiatrist), single potential analysis of cavernous electrical activity (SPACE), 18 pharmacological testing 17 and Doppler ultrasound. 19 When indicated, 17 ernosometry and cavernosography, 20 penile angiography or somato-motor and/or autonomic neurological examinations.…”

Predictive Value of Real-Time Rigiscan Monitoring for the Etiology of Organogenic Impotence

“…The diagnostic evaluation in every patient included history (with an emphasis on sexual function) with the aid of a standardized questionnaire, physical examination and blood chemistry studies (SMA-12, testosterone and prolactin levels). 5 History, sexual history and partner interview were then obtained by a psychiatrist, and psychological testing was done by a clinical psychologist. Single potential analysis of cavernous electric activity (SPACE) was registered with the frequency range set at 0.5 to 100 Hz.…”

“…6 A standardized diagnostic injection of a vasoactive drug mixture (3 mg. papaverine hydrochloride and 0.1 mg. phentolamine mesylate) was given and the erectile response was evaluated by a urologist. 5 To enhance reproducibility the patient was advised to refrain from psychological or reflexogenic stimulation. Depending on the erectile response the dose was decreased, unchanged or augmented for the following injection (with at least a 24-hour interval) and at least 3 injections were administered.…”

Followup Results of a Combination of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide and Prostaglandin E1 in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

“…Case history including a questionnaire and sexual case history by a psychiatrist were taken. Blood laboratory tests, pharmacological tests, 23 single potential analysis of cavernous electric activity 24 and Doppler study 25,26 were performed. Phar- maco-cavernosometry or angiography was done as needed in select patients.…”
