Distal Biologic Cap for Impending Distal Erosion.

Introduction: Management for distal impending erosion can be difficult and has been previously managed with counter incisions which can lead to unsightly scars and increased infection risk.

Aim: To demonstrate a novel technique in management of impending erosion.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent placement of a distal biologic cap for impending erosion.

Main Outcome Measure: The main outcome was thesuccessful placement of inflatable penile prosthesis through a single incision.

Results: All patients who underwent this procedure are functional and have had no evidence of recurrence.

Clinical Implications: A simple approach to manage impending distal erosion.

Strength & Limitations: Limitations include small sample size and short duration of follow-up.

Conclusion: The distal biologic cap is a simple alternative technique to treat distal impending erosion of an inflatable penile prosthesis and can be performed safely without the need for additional incisions on the penis and with a minimal increase in operative times.
