چکیده

A 59-year-old man presented with erosion of an inflatable penile prosthesis. The cylinders were not deflated and the right one protruded from the urethra. Autoinflation that causes failure of deflation is an annoying and embarrassing mechanical failure. This failure may cause intraurethral erosion of the prosthesis. Urologists should inform their patients who hope for implantation of an inflatable prosthesis of this potential adverse event prior to surgery.

Late 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...

Capsular Contraction with S-Shaped Deformity of Nonlength-Expanding Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Cylinders: Management and Prevention Strategies

INTRODUCTION Capsular contraction (CC) occurring with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) reservoirs has been reported by urologists as a cause of autoinflation. The concept of CC occurring around IPP cylinders has not been studied. AIMS Herein we report a case of CC occurring with nonlength-expanding IPP cylinders, resulting in an S-shaped deformity. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We sought to repor...

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...
