Abstract

Mechanical fracture is an unusual complication of malleable penile prosthesis. In the present case, we reported that a 29-year-old man, using the AMS 650 malleable penile prosthesis since 2004, was presented. The patient described that there was deformity at the right side of the penis. Pain and difficulty during sexual intercourse was described. Right root of the penile prosthesis was found to be fractured in the physical examination and then it was removed by surgical exploration. It was determined that the right root of the penile prosthesis was misplaced on front-backward plane. A new AMS 650 malleable penile prosthesis was implanted. Because of previous prosthesis was shorter than needed, a new prosthesis was used 3 cm longer than the previous. The patient was discharged a day after the operation without any complication.

Key Words: Penile Prosthesis; Mechanical Fracture; Surgically Misplacement.
