Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Synonym: Impotence
Persistent or recurrent inability to obtain or
maintain penile erection (or both)
sufficient for satisfactory sexual
performance, for more than 3-months
duration(1).
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
NO!
Sexual function is an important component of
quality of life and subjective well-being.
Sexual problems affect adversely mood, well-
being, and interpersonal functioning.
Nearly every man can be successfully
treated.
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Incidence and prevalence is high
worldwide
Effects up to 52% of men (40-70yrs)
Complete impotence from 5% of 40yr olds
to 15% of 70yr olds
Only 10-20% solely psychogenic

pressure to raise the penis
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Transient intracorporeal pressure increase
[smooth muscle contraction]
Pressure decrease slowly
[slow reopening of the venous channels]
Pressure decrease fast

Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Flaccid phase (1) Minimal arterial and venous flow; b
Latent (filling) phase (2) Increased flow in the internal pudendal
artery during both systolic and diastolic phases. Decreased pressure
in the internal pudendal artery; unchanged intracavernous pressure.
Some elongation of the penis.
Tumescent phase (3) Rising intracavernous pressure until full erection
is achieved. Penis shows more expansion and elongation with
pulsation. The arterial flow rate decreases as the pressure rises..
Full erection phase (4) Intracavernous pressure can rise to as much as
80–90% of the systolic pressure. Pressure in the internal pudendal
artery increases but remains slightly below systemic pressure. Arterial
flow is much less than in the initial filling phase but is still higher than
in the flaccid phase. approach those of arterial blood.
Skeletal or rigid erection phase (5) As a result of contraction of the
ischiocavernous muscle, the intracavernous pressure rises well
above the systolic pressure, resulting in rigid erection..
Detumescent phase (6) After ejaculation or cessation of erotic stimuli,
sympathetic tonic discharge resumes, resulting in contraction of the
smooth muscles around the sinusoids and arterioles. This effectively
diminishes the arterial flow to flaccid levels,.
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Supraspinal pathways
[ hypothalamus, limbic system and cerebral cortex
Parasympathetic nerves S2-4 mediate erection
Sympathetic nerves T11-L2 control ejaculation and
detumescence
Smooth muscle relaxation
Nitric oxide diffuses into cavernosal smooth muscle cells,
activates Guanylate cyclase converts guanosine
triphosphate to cGMP resulting in smooth muscle
relaxation.
Effect of cGMP stopped by Phosphodiesterase type 5 which
exists primarily in corpora cavernosa

B3Clinical use of a validated questionnaire related
to ED may help assess all sexual function
domains and the effect of a specific treatment
modality.
B3Physical examination is needed in the initial
assessment of ED to identify underlying medical
conditions associated with ED
B4Routine laboratory tests, including glucose-lipid
profile and total testosterone, are required to
identify and treat any reversible risk factors and
modifiable lifestyle factors.
B4Specific diagnostic tests are indicated by only a
few conditions.
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Total tumescence time 20% of night at puberty Adults – 27 minutes/nigh
RigiScan - 1985
Monitors radial rigidity, tumescence, number, duration of erectile events
Portable – can use at home
Can record 3 different nights up to 10 hrs each
Results
Radial rigidity >70% = good erection
<40% = flaccid penis
Normal = 3-6 erections/night, 10-15 minutes per episode NEVA
device
Uses electrobioimpedance to assess volumetric changes in penis during nocturnal
erections
Undetectable alternating current from glans to hip electrodes
Penile base electrode measures impedance & changes in penile length
Mean volume change in controls = 213% increase (14.4 mL)
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Inject vasodilator, stimulate,
Bypasses neurologic & hormonal influences to
evaluate vascular status
Use:
alprostodil 10-20ug
papaverine & phentolamine (Bimix 0.3 mL)
Trimix 0.3 mL
27 or 29g needle, compress for 5 min after
injection
Normal results = normal venous occlusion
False negative up to 20% w/ borderline
arterial flow
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Penile blood flow study (CIS & blood flow measurement
by US) is most reliable & least invasive evidence
based assessment of ED
Red = towards probe
Blue = away from probe
Can visualize dorsal & cavernous arteries in real time
Can diagnose high flow priapism
Technique
Measure flow velocities 5-10 min after injection
Rate erectile quality
Look at both cavernous arteries & diameters
Asymmetric cavernous arterial flow >10cm/s or reversal
of flow across a collateral may mean atherosclerotic
lesion
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV)
PSV < 25 correlates with abnormal pudendal
arteriography
Severe unilateral arterial insufficiency >10 cm/s
asymmetry
Severe vascular ED, diameter increase is <75%,
diameter rarely exceeds 0.7 mm
High systolic flow (>25 cm/s)
Persistent end-diastolic flow (EDV) (>5 cm/s)
Resistive Index (RI)
RI = PSV – EDV/PSV
Measure 20 min after injection & stimulation
RI > 0.9 normal
RI < 0.75 venous leakage
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Intracavernosal injection with color duplex
Doppler ultrasound
Most informative diagnostic test
Least invasive for vascular ED, high vs. low flow
priapism, Peyronie’s plaque
Useful measurements
PSV, cavernous artery diameter, EDV, RI
PSV <25 = severe cavernous artery insufficiency
PSV >35 = normal inflow
Negative relationship between age & PSV
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Cavernous arterial occlusion pressure
Basically penile blood pressure measurement – 1989
Technique
Inject vasodilator
infuse saline into corpora to get pressure > systolic BP
apply Doppler to penile base
Pressure when cavernous arterial flow becomes detectable is cavernous
artery systolic occlusion pressure (CASOP)
Gradient between cavernous & brachial artery pressure <35 &
equal pressure on L & R is normal
Pharmacologic Arteriography
Technique
Inject vasodilator
Cannulate internal pudendal artery
Inject contrast
Look at anatomy of iliac, internal pudendal, penile arteries
Aberrant anatomy in 50% of normal volunteers
Useful for anatomy, not function
Indication:
Young pt w/ ED due to traumatic arterial disruption or perineal compression
injury. Essential for planning reconstruction
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Pharmacologic Cavernosometry &
Cavernosography
Cavernosometry
Saline infusion while monitoring intracavernous
pressure
Assesses penile outflow
Cavernosography
Infusion of contrast into corpora after vasodilator
induced erection
Good for young men who may be candidates for
penile vascular operations

Only certain types of ED have the potential to be cured
with specific treatments:
General Measures
Smoking cessation
Reduce alcohol
Weight loss
Exercise
Hormonal: testosterone failure – give testosterone
contraindicated in men (prostate carcinoma or with
symptoms of prostatism.)
Post-traumatic arteriogenic: surgical penile revascularization
has a 60-70% long-term success
Psychogenic: underlying problem, sex therapy/counselling,
phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil,
vardenafil)
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
PDE-5 inhibitors potentiate NO’s

Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Subcoronal – malleable or positional
Infrapubic - reservoir placement under direct
vision
Penoscrotal – better corporeal exposure, no
dorsal nerve injury, pump fixation possible
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Foley removed next day
Antibiotic for 1 week
Oral narcotic used for 1 week
Restrict lifting activities if reservoir present
Have pts practice pumping 1 month after
sx
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
INFECTIONS – No significant illness, but to
eradicate infection, removal of
prosthesis is required.
To avoid it:
-Delay implanation if UTI or cutaneous inf
-Shave day of surgery
-Prevent by 10 minute skin prep
-Gent vancomycin
-Silicone has a sterile charge and should
be irrigated
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Infections occur either
1st few weeks - gram negative
After 6 months – gram positive Staph epi
Role of diabetes is controversial as related to
infection probability
EARLY INFECTIONS
Swelling, erythema, tenderness, drainage
Occasional fever
LATE INFECTIONS
Skin may be adherent to pump
Erosion is evidence of infection
REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Re-Implant?
To minimize scarring of corporeal dilation, perform
as soon as possible to PREVENT SCARRING AND
PENILE SHORTENING
Rifampin/Minocycline coated prosthesis
showed less infection rate than hydrophilic
coated devices.
IF mechanical failure, usually after 5 years
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
If dilator perforates proximal corpora, use a
larger dilator & allow perforation to heal
If dilator perforates urethra, ABANDON
PROCEDURE; place catheter 7-10 days
Can avoid by keeping tip of dilator under
dorsolateral surface of corpus cavernosum
If erosion of one cylinder:
REMOVE THAT CYLINDER. OK w/ one
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
“Concorde” type glans after placement b/c of
undersized, or inadequate dilation
SST DEFORMITY
Oversized cylinders cause pain and can erode
Dr.Hassaan Ali 2014
Peyronie’s disease
Scarring in tunic albuginea
Corporoplasty likely needed if length and girth
expanders used
If relaxing incision are done and gap is greater
than 1 cm, must cllose to prevent herniation
of cylinders
