    Long-term condom-catheter use in paraplegics can lead to rare penile complications. These include glans prepuce hypertrophy and severe distal penile constriction with fistulae.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Urinary incontinence is common in individuals with spinal cord injuries.
    • Condom-catheters are frequently used for managing incontinence in paraplegics.
    • Long-term use necessitates careful monitoring for potential complications.

    Observation:

    • Two paraplegic patients using condom-catheters long-term presented with unusual penile sequelae.
    • Case 1: Hypertrophy of the glans prepuce.
    • Case 2: Severe distal penile constriction with two fistulae.

    Findings:

    • Condom-catheter usage can result in significant, albeit rare, penile structural changes.
    • The observed sequelae highlight potential risks associated with prolonged external urinary device use.
    • These complications may impact patient quality of life and require surgical intervention.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of these rare but severe potential complications.
    • Regular penile examinations are crucial for paraplegics using condom-catheters.
    • Further research may explore preventative strategies and optimal management for such sequelae.
