Abstract

Diagnosis of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED), which can not based on single method, is the key for the successive surgical treatment. Revascularization is a safe, effective method to treat arteriogenic ED. The key for successive treatment is to select the most suitable patients and to avoid any risk factors for the surgical candidates, especially for those revascularization as the only therapeutic method. The high failure rate in surgery of ED is due to venous leakage which has led to these techniques being abandoned by almost all urologist. Newly appeared methods with little or no damage are welcome by the patients with vasculogenic ED, and the better results can be achieved by the combination of general treatment.
