Abstract

Purpose: We reviewed our experience in the management of severe corporeal fibrosis with placement of the AMS 700 CXM* prosthesis to determine the efficacy of this approach.

Materials and methods: The records of 26 men with severe corporeal fibrosis who underwent placement of the AMS 700 CXM prosthesis via a transverse scrotal approach between August 1991 and July 1996 were reviewed.

Results: In all cases the AMS 700 CXM prosthesis was successfully implanted with primary closure of the tunica albuginea, although 2 patients required extended corporotomies. Followup data were available on all 26 men. At a mean followup of 22.5 months (range 3 to 63) 24 of the 26 men had a functional device (92%). One patient required explantation for infection and 1 underwent explantation for cylinder cross-over.

Conclusions: Implantation of the AMS 700 CXM prosthesis in patients with severe corporeal fibrosis produced good results at approximately 2 years of followup.
