AI Article Synopsis
- The review focuses on recent advancements in mechanical and surgical techniques for inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery, particularly regarding reservoir placement and patient outcomes.
- Innovations over the last decade have led to improved safety and durability of IPP devices, with various surgical approaches available for reservoir placement, including both traditional and ectopic methods.
- Factors such as surgical history, patient anatomy, and personal preferences must be evaluated when deciding on the best reservoir placement technique, emphasizing the need for urologists to be skilled in multiple methods for optimal patient care.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: To discuss mechanical and surgical innovations in inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery and their implications on reservoir placement and patient outcomes.
Recent Findings: The past decade has seen a new emphasis on optimizing outcomes and minimizing complications associated with IPP reservoirs. Innovations in device design have accordingly yielded safer, more durable IPP outcomes over the past four decades. Modifications in surgical approach for reservoir placement abound for both traditional space of Retzius and ectopic reservoir placement techniques. Surgical and medical history, patient anatomy, and patient preference should all be considered when choosing approach for IPP reservoir placement. Prosthetic urologists should be proficient in multiple approaches to provide the best care to their patients.
