title: Small-Carrion penile prosthesis. New implant for management of impotence.
abstract: The etiology of impotence and a review of various techniques in treatment are discussed. A perineal surgical approach with a new type of paired sponge-filled silicone prostheses is described. The prostheses are inserted into previously dilated corpora cavernosa. Of the initial 31 patients, excellent results were obtained 27, and a good result in 1. Of the 3 patients with initial serious complications, adequate functional results were attained in 2. The distinct advantages and potential complications using the Small-Carrion penile prosthesis and surgical technique are discussed.
