Troubleshooting intraoperative complications of penile prosthesis placement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Placement of a penile prosthesis is an excellent option for well-selected patients, offering high patient satisfaction and a low rate of complications. Most urologists who perform the procedure are not high volume implanters and may have limited experience with troubleshooting intraoperative issues. In this review, the authors use current literature to provide recommendations for the management of various intraoperative issues such as difficultly with dilation, incongruent measurement, perforation, urethral injury, crossover, complications of reservoir placement, penile curvature, glans mobility, and hemostasis are all discussed. Preparedness for the management of intraoperative issues can help improve patient outcomes and limit morbidity.

A review of surgical techniques for impending distal erosion and intraoperative penile implant complications: part 2 of a three-part review series on penile prosthetic surgery.
INTRODUCTION More than half of intraoperative complications occur during dilatation of the corpora cavernosa, a critical step in the placement of any type of penile prosthesis, which can be especially difficult in a patient with corporal fibrosis. A late manifestation of cylinder placement can be impending erosion with lateral extrusion or medial deviation (into the urethra) of the distal tips....

Background: The aim of this study is to adapt the two most common grading systems of surgical complications; the Satava system for perioperative complications, and the modified Clavien grading system for the postoperative complications on the surgical complications of penile prosthesis surgery. Methods and Findings: Between Oct 1990 and Dec 2011, 422 patients were treated with penile prosthesis...

Penile prosthesis implantation is the recommended treatment in patients with penile curvature and severe erectile dysfunction (ED) not responding to pharmacotherapy. Most patients with mild-to-moderate curvature can expect cylinder insertion to correct both ED and penile curvature. In patients with severe curvature and in those with persistent curvature after corporeal dilation and prosthesis p...
متن کاملPrimary tracheoesophageal puncture with supraclavicular artery island flap after total laryngectomy or laryngopharyngectomy.
The supraclavicular artery island flap (SCAIF) is increasingly employed for laryngectomy reconstruction with excellent success. Although tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) with intraoperative prosthesis placement is also positively reported, this is not described in patients following SCAIF. We review our experience with primary TEP with prosthesis placement and voice outcomes in patients after S...
متن کاملThe penoscrotal surgical approach for inflatable penile prosthesis placement
Optimizing outcomes with placement of inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs) can be challenging, especially in inexperienced hands. In this article, we outline Dr. Köhler's penoscrotal penile prosthesis surgical approach. We also highlight patient selection, post-operative care and complications.
