Occasionally, penile prostheses are removed following erosion, infection or malfunction and they are not replaced immediately. Patients may present later for reimplantation of a penile prosthesis after an interval free of a device. However, no information is available as to the outcome and difficulties of such a procedure. We reviewed the charts of all 305 patients undergoing implantation of a penile prosthesis at our institution and contacted all 8 who had undergone reimplantation. Bilateral prostheses were placed in 4 patients. Unilateral prostheses only could not be implanted in either side because of extensive fibrosis. Of the 8 patients 4 are able to have intercourse (1 with difficulty) and reimplantation of the prosthesis often was difficult or impossible. We conclude that reimplantation of a penile prosthesis is beneficial for some patients but they should be informed of the possibility of unsatisfactory results.
偶尔，阴茎假体在发生侵蚀、感染或功能故障后会被取出，且不会立即更换。患者可能在一段时间没有使用该装置后，再来进行阴茎假体的重新植入。然而，关于这种手术的结果和困难，目前尚无相关信息。我们查阅了在我们机构接受阴茎假体植入的所有305例患者的病历，并联系了所有8例接受过重新植入手术的患者。4例患者植入了双侧假体。由于广泛纤维化，单侧假体无法在任何一侧植入。在这8例患者中，4例能够进行性交（1例有困难），而且假体的重新植入通常很困难或无法进行。我们得出结论，阴茎假体的重新植入对一些患者有益，但应告知他们可能出现不理想结果的可能性。
