The complications associated with a variety of penile prostheses used in the treatment of 302 men with erectile dysfunction are described. Infection of the prostheses resulted in their removal from 11 patients (3.6%), antibiotic therapy and replacement in five men. Mechanical failures required reoperation in 43 men (14.2%); however, recent advances in prosthesis design have reduced this type of malfunction. Adverse psychological reactions prompted removal of the prostheses from two men. Despite these complications, this surgery is remarkably effective.
本文描述了用于治疗302例勃起功能障碍男性患者的各种阴茎假体所伴随的并发症。11例患者（3.6%）因假体感染而取出，5例患者接受了抗生素治疗并更换了假体。43例患者（14.2%）因机械故障需要再次手术；然而，假体设计的最新进展已减少了这类故障。两名患者因不良心理反应而取出了假体。尽管有这些并发症，但该手术非常有效。
