The effectiveness of a vacuum erection device was evaluated in a 3-year prospective trial involving 110 men with erectile disorders. The patients ranged from 36 to 75 years of age (average: 61). Fifty-seven had chosen the vacuum device as a first treatment attempt; 27 were on intracavernous self-injections with a vasoactive agent but wanted another treatment; and several treatment modalities had failed in the remaining 26 patients. At the 3-month follow-up, the patients were mailed a questionnaire to evaluate the quality of sexual intercourse with the vacuum constriction device. Partner satisfaction was evaluated in parallel. Improvement in sexual parameters as well as difficulties and side effects induced by the device were investigated. Our results confirm the efficacy of the vacuum constriction device in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in selected patients.
在一项为期3年的前瞻性试验中，对110名勃起功能障碍男性使用真空勃起装置的有效性进行了评估。患者年龄在36至75岁之间（平均61岁）。57人将真空装置作为首次治疗尝试；27人正在接受海绵体内自我注射血管活性药物治疗，但希望尝试其他治疗方法；其余26名患者尝试过多种治疗方式均失败。在3个月的随访中，向患者邮寄了一份问卷，以评估使用真空收缩装置进行性交的质量。同时评估了伴侣的满意度。研究了性参数的改善情况以及该装置引起的困难和副作用。我们的结果证实了真空收缩装置在治疗特定患者勃起功能障碍方面的有效性。
