Corporoplasty using pericardium allograft (tutoplast) with complex penile prosthesis surgery.
Penile prosthesis implantation can be challenging for such presentations as penile fibrosis and prosthesis erosion and conditions in which the corporal body is severely damaged or deficient. The technical complexity of some repairs and the infections associated with synthetic graft materials will sometimes pose limitations to using these materials. We offer a new role for Tutoplast processed pericardial allograft for complex corporoplasty during penile prosthesis surgery.
