Abstract
- Purpose: Lateral extrusion of a penile prosthesis cylinder is an uncommon but distressing problem. A technique is described to reseat the cylinder in a more medial and secure position under the glans penis by creating a new cavity for the cylinder behind the back wall of the fibrotic sheath containing it.Materials and Methods: A total of 14 patients underwent corporoplasty using this technique with followup as long as 2 years.Results: All patients had a satisfactory result with no recurrence of the original problem.Conclusion: This method which places the cylinder behind 2 secure layers is straightforward, simple and reliable.
