Inflatable penile prosthesis implantation into scarred corporal bodies: timing may decrease postoperative problems.

Objectives: To compare the rates of intra- and postoperative complications between early (<4 months) or delayed (>4 months) inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) re-implantation performed after a fibrosis-inducing event.

Patients And Methods: Cases of IPP re-implantation were performed by a single, high-volume prosthetic surgeon in hospitals domestically and abroad over a 15-year period (2001-2016). The time interval from the precipitating event to operation, intra-operative complications and postoperative complications for up to 1 year after implantation, were recorded.

Management of Bladder Diverticula in Menkes Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Menkes syndrome is a genetic disorder of copper metabolism, often with urologic complications, including bladder diverticula and vesicoureteral reflux. A 1-year-old boy with Menkes syndrome presented with recurrent urinary tract infections and incomplete bladder emptying secondary to 2 large bladder diverticula. He underwent robot-assisted excision of both diverticula with subsequent improved emptying and resolution of urinary tract infections.
