    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Reimplanting penile prostheses after a device-free interval can be challenging. While some patients achieve satisfactory intercourse, others face difficulties or impossibility, highlighting the need for informed consent regarding potential outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Penile prostheses require removal due to complications like erosion, infection, or malfunction.
    • Patients may opt for delayed reimplantation after a period without a device.
    • Limited data exists on the outcomes and challenges of penile prosthesis reimplantation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and surgical difficulties associated with penile prosthesis reimplantation after an interval without a device.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective chart review of 305 penile prosthesis implantations.
    • Follow-up contact with 8 patients who underwent prosthesis reimplantation.

    Main Results:

    • Of 8 patients who underwent reimplantation, 4 could achieve intercourse (1 with difficulty).

  • Extensive fibrosis sometimes precluded bilateral or even unilateral prosthesis implantation.
  • The reimplantation procedure itself was frequently difficult or impossible.

    • Conclusions:

    • Penile prosthesis reimplantation can be beneficial for select patients.
    • Patients must be counseled on the potential for difficult procedures and unsatisfactory functional results.
