چکیده
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 complications. Nevertheless, complications do still occur and need to be recognized and managed. This review highlights the more frequently encountered complications of penile prosthetic implants and makes some suggestions on how to prevent or correct them. ß 2010 WPMH GmbH.

متن کاملEvolution of penile prosthetic devices
Penile implant usage dates to the 16th century yet penile implants to treat erectile dysfunction did not occur until nearly four centuries later. The modern era of penile implants has progressed rapidly over the past 50 years as physicians' knowledge of effective materials for penile prostheses and surgical techniques has improved. Herein, we describe the history of penile prosthetics and the c...
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 ...
