Deep venous thrombosis due to compression of external iliac vein by the penile prosthesis reservoir.
Penile implant surgery has a high rate of success and a very high patient satisfaction rate. Compression of the external iliac vein by the reservoir of the penile implant is an extremely rare occurrence. We describe a case of deep vein thrombosis due to compression of the external iliac vein, which required replacement of the penile implant reservoir.
