Cavernotome being used to dilate fibrotic corpora
All uses of the cavernotomes resulted in successful implantation of inflatable cylinders or semimalleable rods without urethral injury or corporal perforation.
- Fifteen of the patients received downsized prosthesis (13 Alpha NB, 2 AMS 700 CXM).
- Of the remaining four patients, three patients were implanted with Mentor Alpha 1 standard size cylinders, and 1 patient was implanted with an AMS semimalleable prosthesis.
- Graft material was not required and only two patients required additional distal penile incisions for optimum cylinder tip placement.
- Average operative time was 51 minutes (39-86 minutes range).
