Behandling av erektil dysfunktion – från piller till implantat - Region Skåne har kapat kön till implantatkirurgi utan att urologisk cancerkirurgi påverkats

The article gives an overview of erectile mechanisms and erectile dysfunction (ED). Current treatment of ED is presented. Most of the patients with ED should be treated by their primary care physician. Urologists should be involved only when treatment has failed, and when erectile implants might be an option. In Skåne the waiting list for these patients has been eliminated by using the operating capacity of a smaller hospital.
