Prompt removal of eroded penile prostheses is recommended in most cases. However, saving and reimplanting eroded implants may be considered in patients without signs of sepsis, local infection or necrosis during preoperative evaluations and surgical exploration. Notably, close postoperative surveillance is crucial in this setting.

The incidence of erosion of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) components into adjacent organs is low (<0.1 %). During a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in a patient with prior IPP placement, we encountered IPP tubing that had eroded into the prostate.

Self inflicted genital ulcer due to penile constriction injury is a rare clinical entity, which requires urgent management to prevent its devastating outcomes such as penile gangrene and auto amputation. Although this is common, definitely, it is of interest because of the genital involvement. Here, we present a case report on an unusual case of rubber band induced penile constriction injury.

Objectives: To identify predictors of early artificial sphincter (AUS) erosion among a cohort of men with erosion, who underwent AUS placement by either university or community-based surgeons.
Methods: The records of all patients with AUS erosions, including men who underwent AUS placement at outside facilities, were retrospectively reviewed. A Cox proportional-hazards model for time to erosion was performed with the predictors being the components of a fragile urethra (history of radiation, prior AUS, prior urethroplasty), androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), trans-corporal (TC), and 3.
