The introduction of penile prosthesis in the early 1970s has been the first breakthrough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Since then a variety of treatment options for erectile dysfunction have been developed, including penile vascular surgery, injection therapy, vacuum erection device therapy, intraurethral and oral pharmacotherapy. ⋯ Moreover, many men that are now effectively managed with medical treatment are likely to require penile prosthesis implantation as their erectile dysfunction progresses. This chapter will focus on the surgical management of erectile dysfunction and in particular on penile prosthesis implantation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Smoking-cessation and adherence intervention among Chinese patients with erectile dysfunction.
Whether the association between smoking and erectile dysfunction is causal is uncertain. No RCTs have been previously conducted on cessation counseling and additional nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) adherence counseling among smokers with erectile dysfunction. ⋯ Although quitting smoking was associated with improvement in erectile dysfunction, this study found significant outcome differences among the means used to achieve smoking cessation.

Case ReportsCase report: pudendal nerve injury after a sciatic nerve block by the posterior approach.
We report a pudendal nerve injury that developed after a posterior approach to the sciatic nerve. A classical Labat's posterior sciatic nerve block on the right side was performed using an insulated needle and a nerve stimulator set at an initial current of 2 mA, 2 Hz frequency, and 0.1 ms duration. Painful paresthesia radiating to the right side of the patient's penis and right leg was experienced shortly after needle insertion. ⋯ The trauma resulted in erectile dysfunction and partial loss of penile sensation as well as evidence of injury to the sciatic nerve itself. Symptoms and clinical signs of pudendal nerve injury lasted 7 months. This is the first time that sexual dysfunction as a result of a unilateral pudendal nerve injury that occurred after a posterior sciatic nerve block has been reported.
