Objective:
To elucidate factors influencing Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP) revision and describe outcomes associated with revision surgery.
Methods:
A single surgeon, retrospective review of all patients who underwent IPP revision between 2008-2016, was performed. Patient age, BMI, operative duration, blood loss, hospital duration, time from most recent penile implant to revision surgery, etiology of revision, and whether the patient had a prior failed revision surgery were all collected and analyzed.
Results:
A total of 57 patients, who had undergone IPP revision between the years 2008-2016, with at least 3 years of follow-up, were included in the investigation. Mean patient age and BMI were 68 and 29.2 kg/m2, respectively. The mean time between the most recent implant operation to revision was 8.4 years. Four patients (7%) reported IPP revision failure within a 3-year follow-up period.
Conclusion:
IPP revision demonstrates a relatively high success rate, in the short term, and should be offered to patients as a safe and effective option.
