Constraints on surgical resident training (work-hour mandates and shorter training programs) and the availability of expert surgical educators may limit the acquisition of prosthetic surgical skills. This full-immersion and biodegradable penile prosthesis simulation model offers comprehensive full-task training that is cost-effective and may improve patient safety by increasing surgical training exposure.

Penile prostheses (PPs) are a safe, effective, and satisfactory treatment option for patients with erectile dysfunction refractory to medical therapy. Most respondents believe that the current infection rates are accurate (71.3%) and self-reported an estimated PP infection rate of <1% (43.3%) or 1-3% (46.0%). Penile prosthesis infections are managed by a salvage procedure using malleable prosthesis (66.9%), 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) (31.7%), or a 2-piece IPP (1.4%).
