Finney hinged penile implant: experience with 100 cases.
The flexirod hinged penile prosthesis was implanted in 100 patients: 21 through a perineal incision and 79 through a dorsal penile incision. Surgery via the dorsal approach is performed more easily and quickly, and produces less postoperative pain. The modified technique and results for the hinged implant are described. The complication rate was 5 per cent (4 per cent once the design of the prosthesis was finalized).
