[The cavernosometry].

The recent clinical and experimental research innovations in Andrology make possible the following classification of impotence: "Failure to initiate" "Failure to store" "Failure to fill" The last aspect, including veno-occlusive dysfunction, is continuously reevaluated by andrologic studies. The main diagnostic procedure of this complex problem, in constant evolution, is represented by cavernometry. Recently, but with full success, we are utilizing direct radioisotopic penogram in video sexy stimulation: in preselection function but probably in future with substitutive function of the more invasive and traditional cavernometry. In spite of this methodologic progress the findings of cavernometry are in continuous discussion as in tumultuous evolution, in anatomo-physiological environment, is the intracavernous district that, for many aspects, necessity of ulterior histochemical, pharmacodynamic and neurophysiological acknowledgements.
