[Non-surgical therapy of impotence: infiltration, iontophoresis, ultrasound, laser].

Surgical therapy is the only useful correction in congenital fibrosis or in hypoplasia of the 'corpora cavernosa', associated with hypospadia or not. On the contrary in not congenital fibrosis of the 'corpora cavernosa' (Peyronie's disease, consequences of priapism, or trauma, complications of pharmaco-prosthesis) are allowed pharmaco-physical treatments (infiltrations, ionophoresis, ultrasound, laser). Pharmaco-physical therapy can be used as the only treatment, which is often resolutive, but it is also useful before or after the surgical operation of the 'corpora cavernosa'. These diseases can give disorders of the erection, until complete impotence is reached. In fact the erectile tissue can't expand, because of the rising fibrosclerosis. Among acquired fibrosis of corpora cavernosa I.P.P. has surely the greatest recurrent: the consistency of our series made possible to achieve significant results with a unified therapeutical protocol. The same management was applied in other, less frequent, penile fibrosis, always with full positive results even if on a small number of patients. We are evaluating a new drug (defibrotide) in the treatment of cavernosal vasculitis. Another one (hyaluronidase) associated to orgotein, could improve its effect against inflammation especially in chronic evolutions. Besides new treatments, we emphasize the prevention of iatrogenic fibrosis with particular regard to cavernous pharmaco-infusions by autoinjections: the training of the patient and the safety of the autoinjectors must be carefully checked by the andrologist to decrease a large amount of complications.
