ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Recently the use of penile prostheses in patients with spinal cord injury(SCI) has been beneficial for sexual dysfunction, maintenance of external devices and the treatment of penile skin lacerations. We reviewed 50 patients with SCI who had been followed for more than five years after penile prosthetic implantation, particularly in regard to surgical success rate and complication rate. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

From 1988 to 1993, 102 penile prostheses were implanted in 50 patients with SCI. Penile prosthetic implantation was done for sexual dysfunction in 29 patients and for sexual dysfunction and urinary management in 21 patients. The types of penile prostheses were malleable in 13 patients, Dynaflex in 35 patients and AMS 700 CXM in two patients.

RESULTS:

We experienced prosthetic infection in six patients, mechanical failure in three patients, urethral erosion in two patients and penile skin necrosis in one patient. The overall surgical success rate was 88% and the five-year complication rate was 24%.

CONCLUSIONS:

Though the complication rate of penile prosthetic implantation in patients with SCI was higher than in the general population, penile prosthetic implantation improves the quality of life with regard to sexual function and urinary management in patients with SCI.
