    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • The Small-Carrion penile prosthesis has faced reputational challenges due to complications.
    • Sepsis and extrusion have been reported, potentially linked to operative technique.
    • Concerns exist regarding the reliability of this specific penile implant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and reliability of the Small-Carrion penile prosthesis.
    • To determine if adherence to surgical principles can mitigate prosthesis complications.
    • To assess outcomes in a consecutive series of cases without sepsis or extrusion.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 50 consecutive cases involving the Small-Carrion penile prosthesis.
    • Analysis of surgical techniques and patient outcomes.
    • Focus on the absence of sepsis and spontaneous extrusion as primary endpoints.

    Main Results:

    • No cases of sepsis were reported in the series.
    • No instances of spontaneous extrusion of the prosthesis occurred.
    • All 50 cases demonstrated successful implantation and function.

    Conclusions:

    • Strict adherence to established principles of prosthetic surgery is crucial.
    • The Small-Carrion penile prosthesis can be a safe and reliable option when implanted correctly.
    • Proper surgical technique is key to overcoming device-related complications.
