My name is Brian Hale, I’m a board certified urologist working with Advanced Urology Institute.
When I first started urology we had injection therapy and surgery, so we did a lot of surgery for erectile dysfunction. When Viagra came out in the late 90s that obviously changed everything, and now we have a lot of options besides Viagra, medically. So the treatment of erectile dysfunction transitioned from a surgical problem to a medical problem. We still do treat men with surgery if they fail the medical options but the numbers now are very low for patients who undergo surgery for erectile dysfunction.
