Malleable penile prosthesis is a cost-effective treatment for refractory ischemic priapism.

Introduction: Refractory ischemic priapism (RIP) can be difficult to treat, consuming significant healthcare-related resources. Acute insertion of a malleable penile prosthesis (MPP) has been reported as an effective therapy that treats the priapism and restores sexual function.

Aim: We report our 6-year, urban public hospital experience with acute insertion of MPP in patients with RIP.

High submuscular versus space of Retzius placement of inflatable penile prosthesis reservoirs: results of a surgeon survey.

Introduction: High submuscular (HSM) inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) reservoir insertion is a new technique that involves placing the reservoir high beneath the muscles of the abdominal wall. We queried a variety of surgeons to assess their impressions of how HSM reservoir placement compares with traditional space of Retzius (SOR) placement.

Materials And Methods: A nationwide group of urologists trained in HSM reservoir placement was surveyed to assess preferences and concerns compared to SOR placement.
