Erectile impotence can now be treated with a device that mimics a natural erection. Between 1973 and 1977, we implanted an inflatable prosthesis in 245 men (235 with organic impotence and ten with psychogenic impotence). Of these, 234 are able to use the device to their satisfaction; no failures have occurred in the 152 cases treated in 1976 and 1977. The success of this treatment rests in part on the careful selection of patients by a team--a urologist, a sleep researcher, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist--each evaluating the patient independently. Our experience suggest that erectile impotence may be more common than generally believed and that impotence from organic causes may account for a greater percentage of cases than formerly thought.
现在勃起功能障碍可以用一种模拟自然勃起的装置来治疗。1973年至1977年间，我们为245名男性植入了可充气假体（235名患有器质性阳痿，10名患有心因性阳痿）。其中，234人能够满意地使用该装置；1976年和1977年治疗的152例中没有出现失败案例。这种治疗方法的成功部分取决于一个团队对患者的精心挑选，该团队由一名泌尿科医生、一名睡眠研究员、一名心理学家和一名精神科医生组成，他们各自独立对患者进行评估。我们的经验表明，勃起功能障碍可能比普遍认为的更为常见，而且器质性原因导致的阳痿在病例中所占的比例可能比以前认为的更大。
