title: Facilitated implantation of the inguinal reservoir of the multicomponent inflatable penile prosthesis.
abstract: We present a method of implantation of the inguinal reservoir of the multicomponent inflatable penile prosthesis that permits safe 1-step creation of an adequate prevesical space. The preperitoneal distention balloon is inflated in the prevesical space to produce a compartment of adequate volume to avoid back pressure on the reservoir and minimize potential bladder injury in the setting of previous pelvic surgery.
