Hypothesis
The combined penoscrotal and perineal approach is a safe technique for penile prosthesis placement in patients with severe corporal fibrosis.
Conclusion
The combined penoscrotal and perineal approach is safe and increases the chance of successful outcomes in penile prosthetic surgery for severe corporal fibrosis.
Supporting Evidence
- All patients underwent successful implantation of semirigid penile prosthesis.
- There were no short- or long-term complications.
- Mean follow-up time was 91 months.
Takeaway
Doctors used a special method to help three patients get a penis implant, and it worked well without any problems.
Methodology
Three patients underwent penile prosthesis placement using a combined penoscrotal and perineal approach from 1997 to 2006.
Limitations
The study is based on a small sample size of three patients.
Participant Demographics
All patients had extensive corporal fibrosis and a history of previous penile prosthesis removal.
