title: [Penile prosthesis implantation in kidney-transplanted patients].
abstract: Most kidney transplantations are performed on middle-aged men for whom problems of sexual potency are still of great importance. Although a functional renal graft improves the problem in some patients and others resolve with oral or intracavernous therapy, about 20% of patients do not have a good response. In non-responders, tricomponent penile prosthesis implantation is possible. In the last 10 years we have implanted with no complications 7 tricomponent AMS 700 prostheses in patients not otherwise responding. Our good results confirm that patients with kidney transplantation should be considered good candidates to the penile prosthesis if the erectile dysfunction persists after different therapies.
