Abstract:
Penile necrosis is a rare, serious complication of penile prosthesis implantation. Severas factors, including systemic disease, compressive dressing, hematoma, edema, indwelling urethral catheter, and local infection may contribute to the complication. We report two cases of penile necrosis caused by hematoma and compressive dressings applied to control the bleeding.
