Unilateral unitary inflatable penile prosthesis to correct impaired tumescence and severe penile deformity resulting from traumatic rupture of 1 corpus cavernosum

J Urol. 1994 Dec;152(6 Pt 1):2098-100. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)32321-2.

Abstract

Nonsurgical management of a penile fracture can result in penile deformity due to plaque, and impaired tumescence due to corporeal fibrosis and altered erectile hemodynamics. We describe the correction of penile deformity and impaired tumescence by extensive resection of corporeal fibrosis and insertion of a unilateral unitary inflatable prosthesis. A possible role is proposed for correcting penile angulation secondary to unilateral disease using a unilateral unitary inflatable penile prosthesis.
