BACKGROUND: Penile prostheses may be used as a component of genital gender affirmation surgery for the purpose of achieving penile rigidity after phalloplasty, and transgender individuals experience higher complication rates than cisgender individuals. AIM: To observe complications with transmasculine penile prosthesis surgery over time and across surgical conditions. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of all transmasculine patients with phalloplasty undergoing penile prosthesis placement between 4/14/2017 and 2/11/2020 (80 patients). OUTCOMES: Independent variables include implant type, previous genital surgeries, and simultaneous genital surgeries. Dependent variables include prosthesis infection and mechanical complication (device malfunction, dislodgement, erosion). RESULTS: There was an overall complication requiring surgery rate of 36% and infection rate of 20% (15/67 for inflatable prostheses and 1/13 for semirigid), with 14% (11/80) experiencing infection requiring removal. Differences in infection rates appeared insignificant across categories of previous surgery or with simultaneous surgery, but we did notice a markedly lower rate for semirigid prostheses compared to inflatable. There was a significant relationship between infection and case number, with the probability of infection decreasing over time. Device loss at 9 months was 21% overall. Preoperative conditions of the neophallus such as prior stricture correction and perioperative factors such as simultaneous clean and clean-contaminated procedures seemed to pose no additional increase in complication rates. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Type and number of prior and simultaneous non-prosthetic surgeries should not be considered as a risk factor for penile prosthesis after phalloplasty for transmasculine patients, even those that are clean-contaminated STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS: Our cohort size is large compared to currently available studies, although not large enough to generate sufficient power for group comparisons. We have reported every genital surgical step between phalloplasty and penile prosthesis placement and recorded complications with subsequent devices after failure. Patient-reported outcomes were not collected. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that preoperative conditions of the neophallus, such as prior stricture correction, and perioperative factors, such as simultaneous clean and clean-contaminated procedures, seem to pose no additional increase in complication rates. Our data suggest that surgical experience may further decrease complications over time. B. L. Briles, R. Y. Middleton, K. E. Celtik, et al.

背景:阴茎假体可作为生殖器性别肯定手术的一部分,用于在阴茎成形术后实现阴茎硬度,而跨性别者的并发症发生率高于顺性别者。
目的:观察随时间推移和手术条件变化的跨性别男性阴茎假体手术的并发症。
方法:回顾性分析 2017 年 4 月 14 日至 2020 年 2 月 11 日期间接受阴茎假体置入术的所有跨性别男性阴茎成形术患者的病历(80 例患者)。
结果:总体并发症需要手术率为 36%,感染率为 20%(充气假体为 15/67,半刚性假体为 1/13),14%(11/80)的患者出现需要取出的感染。在既往手术或同期手术的分类中,感染率差异无统计学意义,但我们确实注意到半刚性假体的感染率明显低于充气假体。感染与病例数之间存在显著关系,随着时间的推移,感染的概率降低。9 个月时设备丢失率总体为 21%。新阴茎的术前情况,如先前的狭窄矫正,以及围手术期因素,如同期清洁和清洁污染手术,似乎不会增加并发症的发生率。
临床意义:即使是清洁污染的手术,对于跨性别男性患者,阴茎成形术后的假体类型和数量不应被视为危险因素。
局限性:与目前可用的研究相比,我们的队列规模较大,但还不足以产生足够的组间比较能力。我们报告了阴茎成形术和阴茎假体放置之间的每一个生殖器手术步骤,并记录了随后失败的设备的并发症。未收集患者报告的结果。
结论:我们证明,新阴茎的术前情况,如先前的狭窄矫正,以及围手术期因素,如同期清洁和清洁污染手术,似乎不会增加并发症的发生率。我们的数据表明,随着时间的推移,手术经验可能会进一步降低并发症的发生。B.L.布里尔斯、R.Y.米德尔顿、K.E.塞尔蒂克等人。由专门的跨性别手术小组进行阴茎假体置入:并发症的回顾性分析。J 性医学 2022;19:641-649。
