Abstract:
We have followed up 85 patients who have underwent penile prosthetic surgeries(Jonas ; 12. AMS 600 ; 33. AMS 700 ; 11, AMS 700 CX ; 5, Mentor ; 1, Hydroflex ; 23) for erectile dysfunction with a mean follow-up period of 28.7 months. Nineteen cases of complications in 15 patients(17.6%) developed of which 17 cases of medico-surgical in 14 patients and 2 cases of mechanical in one patient. As the medico-surgical complications, occurred a crural corporeal perforation, a protrusion of AMS 600 against glans, an acute angled protrusion of Hydroflex on penile base in flaccid state, 2 cases of exposure of Scott's inflatable prostheses through scrotal erosion (a case of tubing exposure and a case of pump exposure), two cases of urethral erosion and urine leak with infected prostheses, a skin necrosis of glans, 2 infected prostheses, 4 cases of urinary retention, and a dehiscence of perineal surgical wound. As the mechanical complications, crevice of the Hydroflex of both sides with fluid leak happened with 9 months interval in one patient.
