Compression of ureter caused by a retained reservoir of penile prosthesis

B-P Jiann et al. Int J Impot Res. 2006 May-Jun.

Abstract

Routine removal of the reservoir in explanting a malfunctioning three-piece penile implant raises debates because that the retained reservoir has little risk of erosion and it often needs a second incision to remove the reservoir. We reported a case whose retained reservoir resulted in nonbacterial inflammation around it and caused an ipsilateral hydronephrosis.
