title: Treatment of organic impotence with penile prosthesis in renal transplant patients.
abstract: Seven patients were identified who underwent both renal transplantation and penile prosthesis implantation at our institution between June 1980 and June 1990, and their charts were retrospectively reviewed. A total of nine penile prostheses were placed in these patients, five prior to transplantation and four following transplantation. One patient received two prostheses prior to transplantation. One patient received a prosthesis both before and after transplantation. No complications were seen in the four prostheses placed following transplantation with a follow-up of one to forty months (mean 18 months). Of the five prostheses placed prior to transplantation, two were removed due to periprosthetic infections, a cylinder leak developed in one, and one was complicated by penile and scrotal erythema with sepsis.
