Article Synopsis
- The Penuma penile implant is the only FDA-approved device designed for cosmetic enhancement of the penis.
- A case study highlights an infection in a Penuma implant that resembled infections seen in penile prostheses, leading to a recommended explantation procedure.
- After the surgery, the patient experienced complications like penile shortening and a curve, which should be considered during patient counseling.
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this paper was to discuss the issues and/or overt complications associated with the 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (3-IPP) pump. We also addressed how to resolve such issues with or without surgical intervention.
Recent Findings: Numerous modifications of the 3-IPP pump have been introduced with multiple techniques to place the pump.
Purpose Of Review: The goal of this paper was to evaluate the current use of semirigid penile prosthesis (SRPP), surgical techniques for insertion of SRPP, and how to prevent and approach surgical complications.
Recent Findings: SRPP is a valid option for those who are refractory to medical therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) and even more appropriate for specific subsets of patient populations. It is important for urologists to know which patient population SRPP is preferred for.
