[Spongious autoinjection therapy following implantation of a penis prosthesis--case report].

Due to relative shortness of his penis a 67-year-old patient suffering from erectile dysfunction could not perform sexual intercourse, despite the implantation of a penile prosthesis. After intraspongious injection of 3 ml of a vasoactive substance mixture (papaverine 15 mg/ml and phentolamine 0,5 mg/ml) an increase in glandular circumference of 1.5 cm and in penile length of 1.8 cm took place, lasting for 1 1/2 h. By this means the patient regained the ability of a normal sexual life.
