Abstract
Of 128 patients who had insertion of a Small-Carrion prosthesis, 36 were diabetic. The insertion of a penile prosthesis in diabetic patients proved to be safe, without increased incidence of infection or rejection of the prosthesis, provided diabetes is under good control before operation. Cystoscopy and cystometrogram are necessary to exclude any possible obstruction or decompensation, eliminating potential risk of urinary infection or further decompensation by penile prosthesis. An interval of 6 wk after insertion of the prosthesis is needed for resuming sexual activity.
