Pararectal Migration of a Malleable Rod: An Unusual Late Complication
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 75-year-old male had failed to respond conservative therapy for erectile dysfunction and had undergone insertion of a malleable penile prosthesis in 1995. Twenty years after the initial implant he presented with right-sided prosthesis localized in the buttock. There was no infection. The prosthesis was extracted through an incision in the right hip. As in the recent case, mechanical failures in malleable penile prosthesis models, can occur. Penile implant migration back to the buttock without a curve deformity is an extremely rare complication. Clinicians should be alert about possible late complications of penile prosthesis.

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...
