Patients with chronic priapism require special considerations when undergoing penile implant surgery. Dr. Jonathan Clavell shares advice about assessing the extent of fibrosis present, special preoperative therapies, and additional surgical techniques in order to place a penile implant successfully.
Peyronie’s disease is caused by fibrous scar tissue in the penis that causes painful, curved erections. Dr. Jonathan Clavell shares his surgical tips for Peyronie’s disease surgery in patients needing consequent penile implant surgery.
A penile implant infection is a treatable complication of penile implant surgery. The penile implant can be removed or replaced after a washout procedure. Additionally, patients with infected implants should be started on culture-specific antibiotics.
Diligent post-operative care for penile implant surgery is essential because infection, capsule formation, and penile implant post-op pain are possible. A strict regimen of antibiotics, pain medications, and patient education can improve post-operative patient outcomes.
The Coloplast Titan is one of the most popular three-piece inflatable penile prostheses in the United States. During penile implant surgery, each piece can be adjusted to fit the patient. Learn about the Coloplast Titan and how it compares to the AMS 700.
