Late complications of spontaneous urethral erosion of a malleable penile prosthesis in a young patient.
While oral agents are currently suggested for the initial treatment of erectile dysfunction, penile prosthesis implantation (malleable or inflatable) is accepted as a third-line therapy if intracorporeal injection and intraurethral treatment fail as a secondary choice. Urethral erosion of the malleable penile prosthesis is a well-known complication, mostly due to the indwelling catheter. We rep...
متن کاملLate complications of spontaneous urethral erosion of malleable penile prosthesis in a young patient
INTRODUCTION Most men with erectile dysfunction are initially offered systemic therapy with a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, and then a choice of intracorporeal injection or intraurethral treatment. If these initial treatments fail or are rejected, penile prosthesis implantation is usually the third-line treatment option. The technology for penile prosthesis has been evolving, and it has b...
متن کاملScrotal Abscess Precipitating Late Infection of a Malleable Penile Prosthesis: The Risk Never Evanesces.
Although infrequent, infections represent the dreadful complication of penile prosthesis implantation. The incidence substantially decreases after a few infection-free postoperative months. We report herein a case of a very late penile prosthesis infection from a fistualizing scrotal abscess in a 67-year-old man. The patient presented with a one-month history of persistent penile-base discharge...
متن کاملA rare complication of a malleable penile prosthesis: migration to the thigh region.
Dear editor, Here, we discuss an unusual prosthesis migration to the thigh region. Because the incidence of erectile dysfunction increases in parallel with the prevalence of neurological, degenerative and vascular diseases among elderly men, the use of penile prostheses is common in this age group. Still, cylinder migration following the implantation of a malleable penile prosthesis is a very r...
متن کاملInfrapubic approach for malleable penile implant.
PURPOSE Today, we find that the implant of malleable prostheses still plays a leading role in the surgical treatment of erectile dysfunction. These may involve patients for which the cosmetic advantages of inflatable devices are not as important as low cost, the easier use and less incidence of mechanical complications in the malleable implants. This paper demonstrates infrapubic approach as a ...
