As treatment options for erectile dysfunction (ED) continue to expand, and
with more attractive alternatives such as effective systemic treatment beco
ming available, the number of men presenting for treatment of ED is increas
ing exponentially, Since a subset of these men continue to require surgical
therapy, there is a potential for the number of operations for the treatme
nt of ED and related disorders to actually increase. Areas in the surgical
treatment of ED where improvements are needed are identified, including: me
asures to prevent penile prosthesis infections, better penile implants, imp
roved penile augmentation procedures, better surgical procedures for the tr
eatment of Peyronie's disease, improved penile revascularization procedures
, and new motor and sensory penile nerve grafting procedures.
