ABSTRACT

La población anciana mundial está aumentando aceleradamente, por lo que se prevee un aumento significativo de consultas por disfunción eréctil (D.E) dentro de este grupo etario. La D.E. del anciano es principalmente organogénica por lo que el implante protésico es una alternativa válida frente a la falta de respuesta a fármacos orales. Algunas consideraciones sicosociales y biológicas especiales deben tenerse presentes cuando se enfrenta este grupo de pacientes.


A worldwide growth of ageing population is projected for this century, so an increase in the number of men with ED should be expected in the very next years. Organic ED is predominant in this population, probably non-responders to oral pharmacological agents. Penile prosthesis are a good option for this group of patients as they complaint of a maintained desire for an active sexual life. Some psychosocial and biological considerations should be kept in mind when treating these patients.
