Abstract
Of 184 patients who have received an inflatable penile prosthesis since 1974, 43% have undergone reoperation, the majority of which were owing to cylinder leakage. Comparison by life-table analysis of cylinders placed before and after introduction of the rear tip extender does not show an improvement in cylinder survival to date.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
