World Journal of Urology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The vasculogenic erectile impotence is essentially more often than it has been accepted up to this day. So far, the diagnosis is established with selective arteriography of the penis. The vasculogenic impotence is more found by peripheral vasculopathies like diabetes mellitus and nicotine abuse. The diabetical diseases lead firstly to vasculopathies and secondly to neuropathies. The operative correcture of the vasculogenic impotence haas not succeeded reliable until now because the postoperative thrombotic closures of the anastomosis have showed failures. We have improved considerably the success rate with our new concept that an arterio-venous shunt is to installe addicionally near to the arterio-arterial anastomosis.
