Corporoplasty using bovine pericardium grafts in complex penile prosthesis implantation surgery

Corporoplasty using bovine pericardium grafts in complex penile prosthesis implantation surgery.

PURPOSE This paper is the first, to our knowledge, to propose the use of a bovine pericardium graft in corporoplasty for penile prosthesis implantation. The advantages of bovine pericardium graft have been demonstrated by its use in cardiac surgery, including low cost, biocompatibility, impermeability, resistance to dilatation, flexibility, low likelihood of retraction, absence of antigenic rea...

Bovine pericardium in penile prosthesis reimplantation.

We present a case of a patient who underwent a late penile prosthesis implant using bovine pericardium as a complement to the tunica albuginea involved in intense fibrosis that destroyed the corpus cavernosum after an infectious manifestation. The advantages of using bovine pericardium in the substitution of the tunica albuginea are discussed and its first use as a penile prosthesis lining is r...

Phalloplasty and Penile Prosthesis Implantation for Micropenis

Since pre-historical times, small penis has been a major topic of discussion among males. Adult males and parents of small children consult physicians with a self-diagnosis of micropenis. This potential diagnosis creates significant anxiety in parents. However, simply by conducting a urogenital examination and by measuring the penis size, diagnosis can be validated. Determining whether the peni...

Penile prosthesis implantation in an academic institution in Latin America.

PURPOSE We performed a retrospective study to analyze the effectiveness of implantable penile prostheses in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 249 patients who received implants between 2001 and 2008. A total of 139 patients who underwent penile prosthesis implantation were interviewed. RESULTS Approximately half of patients had previously used ...
