1Division of Urology, Graduate Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19146, USA.
Abstract:
This report describes the author's experience with Mentor Alpha-1 inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder aneurysms. In a series of 93 consecutive cases three implants developed a cylinder aneurysm. Two aneurysms developed intraoperatively and one developed 27 months postoperatively. Literature review suggests that the Mentor Alpha-1 penile prosthesis cylinders are very resistant to aneurysm formation under normal circumstances. However aneurysmal dilatation may occur if the cylinders are subjected to unusual stress.
