June 19th 2019 – Live Surgery: Explant of non-functioning prosthesis and implant of a new prosthesis

Procedure Steps:

  • Peno-scrotal approach with resection of the pump along with the pseudocapsule, cylinders. Complete reservoir retrieval is accomplished through a subcapsular approach in order to avoid any injury to major vessels or other structures
  • Exhaustive wash-out procedure: triple solution (povidone-H2O2-antibiotics) is completed. The procedure is repeated 2 times
  • All surgical instruments, cloths and operation clothing, and gloves are replaced.
  • Implantation of a new 3 component inhibizone coated device
  • Drainage and bladder catheter

Learning Points:

  • Low-grade infection (After 6 weeks, no sepsis signs, no purulent drainage) in a non-functioning device makes it possible to consider a rescue procedure. Strong intravenous antibiotics together with a complete resection of the prosthesis components, and exhaustive wash-out of the operating field to eliminate the biofilm component are mandatory. Implantation of a new inhibizone-coated PP in this scenario is technically feasible with good results.

Clinical Case:

  • Age: 49
  • Gender: male
  • Weight 73
  • Height 1.70
  • BMI 20
  • Diagnosis ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Clinical History:

  • 15 years ago the patient suffered a penile trauma with broken corpus cavernosum and secondary erectile dysfunction
  • 5 years later, due to a mechanical problem, the device was replaced by another 3-component IPP
  • After 10 years of normal functioning, the prosthesis had some mechanical problems and malfunctioned
  • Additionally, a spontaneous liquid secretion appeared in the penoscrotal junction through a small orifice, with no concomitant septic symptoms
  • The patient was regarded as having a low-grade infection in a non-functioning device. After been evaluated and discussing options, it was decided that a surgery to extract the device and replace it with an new inhibizone 3-component penile prosthesis was the best option
