The authors present their experience in using PGE-1 for the assessment of 77 impotent patients. This drug can be safely used as a screening test for vasculogenic impotence but is also useful in more invasive diagnostic tests. PGE-1 is probably the only natural product that can be used commonly for the treatment of erectile impotence, because it is a safe and effective drug.

Combining the use of a longitudinal real-time transrectal ultrasound scanner (Bruel & Kjaer 8537 7 MHz Sector Scan), an attachable puncture guide (Bruel & Kjaer UA 0875) and the Biopty-Cut apparatus (Radioplast), one can now easily perform all prostatic biopsies with ultrasonic guidance. We evaluated this method in 75 patients and found it to be a most elegant and accurate method for the histological diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The paper demonstrate the surgical approach used by the authors to implant the AMS 700CX penile prosthesis. Pre- and postoperative management are also discussed.
Sonographic urethrography is used as a new tool in understanding urethral pathology. Although a prospective study is necessary to demonstrate it, this examination seems to be complementary to retrograde Urethrography.
The authors report their early experience with ND-YAG laser in 55 patients treated for superficial bladder or urethral tumors and for urethral stenosis.

Transabdominal, transrectal and transurethral ultrasonography play a major role in the diagnosis and staging of urological tumors. The practical limitations and possibilities of the several techniques are evaluated in the oncological work-up of tumors of the kidney, bladder, seminal vesicles, prostate and testis. Ultrasonography has become an important diagnostic tool in urological oncology.
