Introduction And Objectives: Impending erosion is an unusual complication of inflatable penile prosthesis that can strongly impact on patient's morbidity and quality of life. In this case report we present a salvage surgery technique for impending erosion performed in a 57-year-old man.
Materials And Methods: We present our surgical technique for cylinder reimplantation in an impending erosion of a three-component inflatable prosthesis with a peno-scrotal access and extracapsular reseating of the cylinder.
Results: No post-operative complication occurred, and the patient regained full function of the prosthesis after recovery. The surgical site healed well with no signs of infections.
Conclusions: Impending erosion is a problematic complication of penile prosthesis; however, can be administered with a salvage technique avoiding the explant of the IPP.

Introduction: Aortic pseudoaneurysms are a type of contained rupture where most of the aortic wall is breached, leaving only a thin rim of the remaining wall or adventitia to hold the blood. This condition carries a high risk of rupture and potentially fatal complications. Typically, patients present with chest pain; haemoptysis can also occur, though rarely.

Background: Penile prosthesis (PP)-induced impending erosion is a rare complication that has not been well characterized.
Aim: This study evaluates the role of prosthesis sizing and of the safety of xenograft windsock repair (AlloDerm, Tutoplast, ArthroFLEX) of impending erosion.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of xenograft use during inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) replacement.

Background: Options to reinforce or reconstruct the corpora cavernosa during penile prosthesis surgery are limited. Synthetic grafts may confer a higher infection risk. Lightweight macroporous mesh is a promising alternative due to better integration and tissue ingrowth.

A 76-year-old male diagnosed with sarcoidosis presented with atraumatic left anterior knee pain. Initial imaging of the left lower extremity revealed an eccentrically-based lytic lesion in the mid-distal femur with cortical erosion and an additional lytic lesion in the proximal tibia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an aggressive lesion in the proximal tibia with surrounding marrow edema, cortical breach, and erosion into the distal patellar tendon.

Polysaccharides are naturally occurring complex molecules with exceptional physicochemical properties and bioactivities. They originate from plant, animal, and microbial-based resources and processes and can be chemically modified. The biocompatibility and biodegradability of polysaccharides enable their increased use in nanoscale synthesis and engineering for drug encapsulation and release.
