Pelvic fracture is one of the common causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). The pathophysiology of ED following pelvic injury is quite complicated and comprises vascular, neurogenic, corporal, as well as psychogenic causes. Penile prosthesis implantation is the third-line treatment of ED due to any reason including pelvic trauma that poorly responds to other standard treatments. In this study, we reported a case of a 33-year-old man with severe erectile dysfunction and urethral stricture following a complex pelvic fracture due to a traffic accident who was successfully implanted with a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis at People's Hospital 115. At the sixth month of follow-up, this device has been working effectively, the patient had the ability to attain full erection for sexual intercourse. Both the patient and the partner are satisfied with their sexual lives. ED is a long-term consequence of pelvic fracture. The high proportion of young patients with a demand for erection rehabilitation and complex pathophysiology make the treatments even more challenging. Penile implant surgery is a potential treatment for refractory ED patients suffering from pelvic trauma.
骨盆骨折是勃起功能障碍(ED)的常见原因之一。骨盆损伤后ED的病理生理机制相当复杂,包括血管性、神经性、海绵体性以及心理性原因。阴茎假体植入是因任何原因导致的ED(包括对其他标准治疗反应不佳的骨盆创伤所致ED)的三线治疗方法。在本研究中,我们报告了1例33岁男性患者,其因交通事故导致复杂骨盆骨折后出现严重勃起功能障碍和尿道狭窄,在第115人民医院成功植入三件式可膨胀阴茎假体。随访至第6个月时,该装置运行有效,患者具备性交时完全勃起的能力。患者及其伴侣对性生活均感到满意。ED是骨盆骨折的长期后果。有勃起功能康复需求的年轻患者比例较高且病理生理机制复杂,使得治疗更具挑战性。阴茎植入手术是骨盆创伤所致难治性ED患者的一种潜在治疗方法。
