Penis

19.4K
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

Summary

Ectopic reservoir placement for penile prostheses is a safe and effective alternative, especially in patients with altered pelvic anatomy after radical prostatectomy or cystectomy. This technique minimizes complications in challenging surgical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Reservoir placement complications, though infrequent, can be serious.
  • Technical alternatives for reservoir placement (ectopic placement) have been developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the available evidence on different ectopic reservoir placement options for penile prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review of PubMed-indexed manuscripts (2000-2019) using keywords: penile prosthesis, ectopic reservoir, radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, pelvic radiotherapy, renal transplantation.
  • Included 11 relevant manuscripts, excluding non-original articles and reviews.

Main Results:

  • Pelvic alterations post-surgery/radiotherapy complicate reservoir placement.
  • Modified devices and technical innovations enable submuscular reservoir placement.
  • Evidence suggests adequate functionality and infrequent, mild complications with ectopic placement.

Conclusions:

  • Ectopic reservoir placement is a safe, effective, and reproducible technique.
  • Particularly beneficial for patients with altered pelvic anatomy.
