| Popis: | Introduction and objectives: Impending erosion is an unusual complication of inflatable penile prosthesis that can strongly impact on patient’s morbidity and quality of life. In this case report we present a salvage surgery technique for impending erosion performed in a 57-year-old man. Materials and methods: We present our surgical technique for cylinder reimplantation in an impending erosion of a three-component inflatable prosthesis with a peno-scrotal access and extracapsular reseating of the cylinder. Results: No post-operative complication occurred, and the patient regained full function of the prosthesis after recovery. The surgical site healed well with no signs of infections. Conclusions: Impending erosion is a problematic complication of penile prosthesis; however, can be administered with a salvage technique avoiding the explant of the IPP. |
