The range of management options has increased markedly over the past two decades. OBJECTIVE: This article revisits the option of intracavernosal injection therapy for male erectile dysfunction. DISCUSSION: Erectile dysfunction has attracted considerable interest and research. The recent availability of an orally effective medication (sildenafil) has brought about a paradigm shift in its management.
