Introduction And Objectives:
Impending erosion is an unusual complication of inflatable penile prosthesis that can strongly impact on patient's morbidity and quality of life. In this case report we present a salvage surgery technique for impending erosion performed in a 57-year-old man.
Materials And Methods:
We present our surgical technique for cylinder reimplantation in an impending erosion of a three-component inflatable prosthesis with a peno-scrotal access and extracapsular reseating of the cylinder.
Results:
No post-operative complication occurred, and the patient regained full function of the prosthesis after recovery. The surgical site healed well with no signs of infections.
Conclusions:
Impending erosion is a problematic complication of penile prosthesis; however, can be administered with a salvage technique avoiding the explant of the IPP.
