Treatment of organic impotence with penile prosthesis in renal transplant patients

Seven patients were identified who underwent both renal transplantation and penile prosthesis implantation at our institution between June 1980 and June 1990, and their charts were retrospectively reviewed. A total of nine penile prostheses were placed in these patients, five prior to transplantation and four following transplantation. One patient received two prostheses prior to transplantation. One patient received a prosthesis both before and after transplantation. No complications were seen in the four prostheses placed following transplantation with a follow-up of one to forty months (mean 18 months). Of the five prostheses placed prior to transplantation, two were removed due to periprosthetic infections, a cylinder leak developed in one, and one was complicated by penile and scrotal erythema with sepsis.
