title: Penile prosthesis corporotomy closure: a new technique.
abstract: A new technique for corporotomy closure during penile prosthesis implantation is described. Horizontal mattress sutures placed after the corpus cavernosum is opened serve first as stay sutures and then are used to close the corporotomy after device implantation. This technique eliminates placing stay sutures as a separate step, avoids damage to the prosthesis and provides an aesthetic horizontal mattress closure.
