Comprehensive Multimodality Imaging Review of Complications of Penile Prostheses.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our article is to review the role of imaging in the diagnosis of various complications of a penile prosthesis (PP).

CONCLUSION

Complications of a PP can be categorized into three groups: first, malpositioning, which includes buckling, floppy glans, erosion, migration, and crossover; second, mechanical failure, which includes fracture, aneurysm, and leakage; and, third, infection. Radiography, sonography, CT, and MRI are useful in the detection of these complications and complement each other, with MRI being the most useful imaging modality among them.
