A personal approach to the management of the complications of penile implant surgery.
Over the last 16 years more than 3000 procedures involving multi-component inflatable penile prostheses have been performed. A variety of types of complications have been encountered, including mechanical problems with the prostheses, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, problems with infection and patient dissatisfaction. During the course of this experience we have made some observations and developed techniques to minimize and treat the complications seen with both routine and difficult inflatable penile prosthesis implantation surgery.
