This protocol targets a specific, well-defined presentation of organic erectile dysfunction: young men with confirmed focal arterial occlusion in the pelvic or penile region, in whom both generalised vascular disease and veno-occlusive dysfunction have been ruled out.

Clinical scenario: difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection in a young man with focal pelvic or penile arterial occlusion — with no evidence of generalised vascular disease and with veno-occlusive dysfunction excluded. This combination of findings defines the specific population addressed by this protocol.

Treatment approach

The structured regimen centres on a surgical intervention directed at the focal arterial pathology. The complete evidence-based protocol — including detailed selection criteria and procedural considerations — is available below.

Penile arterial reconstruction surgery may be considered for the man with ED who is young and who does not have veno-occlusive dysfunction or any evidence of generalized vascular disease or other comorbidities that could compromise vascular integrity.
