Clinical evaluation of inflatable penile prosthesis with combined pump-reservoir.
Sixteen impotent men were implanted with the Mentor inflatable penile cylinders which were attached to a combination pump-reservoir. The prosthesis is working satisfactorily in 14 patients six months post-implant. A pre-assembly technique accommodated insertion of the prosthesis as a unit. The combination of pump-reservoir appears to adequately replace a separate reservoir and pumping device when attached to inflatable penile cylinders.
