Abstract
- We report the results of a series of 79 patients who underwent placement of a unitary component penile prosthesis via a ventral penile skin incision in conjunction with distal ventral corporotomies. This approach facilitates the placement of semirigid and inflatable devices, and eliminates potential pitfalls of other incisions by limiting corporotomy length, avoiding dissection around neurovascular structures and allowing a multilayered closure with nonoverlapping suture lines.
