Purpose Of Review:
Numerous innovations have been made since the first inflatable penile prosthesis was introduced in 1973-not just of the implant apparatus itself, but crucially also in the surgical instruments used for prosthetic surgery. Starting with Dr. Furlow's revolutionary inserter tool, advancements were quickly made in dilators, retractors, and cavernotomes.
Recent Findings:
More recent innovations have been made in inserter tools, forceps, needle holders, clamps, and disposable instruments. Leading companies Boston Scientific and Coloplast have contributed significantly to the evolution of IPP surgical placement, and companies such as Uramix and Rigicon are developing a wide array of new specialized tools. We aim to summarize the instruments needed for IPP placement, with a focus on describing the variety of instrument innovations since Dr. Brantley Scott designed and placed the first IPP.
