Cylinder problems with AMS 700 inflatable penile prosthesis.
Six cases of cylinder problems encountered in 1986 with the AMS 700 Silastic inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) were studied in detail. The problems included 1 case of significant penile bending, the development of a cylinder tear, and several cylinder aneurysms. Possible causes of the problems are explored, along with possibilities for prevention of future problems.
