Abstrakt: Intraurethral instillation was used in place of intracavernosal injection of vasoactive agents for the colour Doppler investigation of patients with erectile dysfunction. A total of 19 patients were enrolled in this study. Colour penile Doppler ultrasonography was done with intracavernosal injection of papaverine-HCl 60 mg and intraurethral instillation of prostaglandin-E2 0.5 mg. Arterial diameter, peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity were measured before and after papaverine injection and prostaglandin-E2 instillation. Colour penile Doppler parameters increased statistically significantly after papaverine injection and prostaglandin-E2 instillation (p < 0.01). But we did not observe differences between the results after papaverine-HCl and prostaglandin-E2. We believe that prostaglandin-E2 may be used with colour Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of patients with erectile dysfunction.
