Prosthesis implantation after radial free flap phalloplasty in patients with bladder exstrophy.
METHODS
Inflatable penile prosthesis were implanted into sensate radial free-flap phalloplasties in two adult patients with bladder exstrophy.


RESULTS
Neither patient reported loss of sensation, and both were able to inflate the prosthesis and engage in sexual intercourse three months later.


CONCLUSIONS
The construction of a functional neophallus is well described however has not previously been reported in exstrophy patients who are suited to this procedure due to the presence of crura, and the absence of a neourethra. Scarring from previous reconstructive procedures however may make implantation difficult, and long-term follow up is required to evaluate this procedure in patients with bladder exstrophy.
