Mechanical reliability of AMS hydraulic penile prostheses.
The mechanical reliability of AMS hydraulic penile prostheses implanted in 203 patients from April 1985 to June 1995 were evaluated. AMS Hydroflex prosthesis showed the highest incidence of mechanical failure (18.8%; 6/32 patients) during a mean follow-up period of 94.5 (64-117) months. Mean functioning time of the prostheses until malfunction was 50 (0-100) months. Bilateral fractures at junct...
متن کاملPenile implants Complications Semirigid penile prostheses Inflatable penile prostheses
Penile prostheses are considered to be the definitive solution for the treatment of organic erectile dysfunction in those in whom medical therapy, such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, is contraindicated or in those who have failed more conservative measures. The advent of new surgical tools and new infection-resistant materials has significantly reduced the risk of intraand postoperative compl...
متن کاملPenile Prostheses Registries
Before these two studies the published data on penile implant surgery consisted mostly of single-surgeon small series and retrospective experiences, rather than prospective, large, multicenter data collection [3-7]. Accordingly, it has been advocated the creation of prospective databases i.e. clinical data registries also to monitor more accurately the results of surgery, and to have solid grou...
متن کاملImplantation of AMS 700 LGX penile prosthesis preserves penile length without the need for penile lengthening procedures
Implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is a well-established definitive solution for erectile dysfunction when conservative treatments fail. Penile implants may shorten the penis. The AMS 700 LGX IPP is in common use but reports on its mechanical reliability, medium-term postsurgical patient satisfaction, and mean penile length preservation are lacking. We investigate the mean pe...
متن کاملThe use of penile prostheses in the management of priapism
Priapism is a relatively uncommon condition that can result in erectile dysfunction (ED) and corporal fibrosis. Cases of prolonged priapism are particularly prone to ED, which arises when priapism is treatment refractory or had a delayed presentation. Due to the emergent nature of priapism, it behooves urologists to be familiar with all potential treatment modalities to minimize adverse outcome...
