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).
