Scott's inflatable penile prosthesis: evaluation of mechanical survival in the series 700 model

The series 700 penile prosthesis was implanted in 131 patients. Actuarial analysis revealed survival of the cylinders to be 98 per cent at 1 year and 92 per cent at 36 months. The only additional failures were leaks in the reinforced tubing in 9 cases. No tubing leaks have occurred since revisions were made by the manufacturer in October 1983.
