Abstract
We report 3 cases of gangrene of the penis seen at our institution after penile prosthesis implantation. All 3 patients had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Amputation was required in 2 patients. Aggressive debridement in conjunction with hyperbaric oxygen prevented amputation in the third patient.Keywords
