Marlex replacement of tunica albuginea.

Prosthetic penile placement for management of impotence secondary to priapism often is difficult owing to scarring the corpus cavernosum. A patient with priapism treated with saline flush to allow detumescence had a Proteus abscess of the corpus cavernosum requiring multiple debridement procedures. After healing Marlex was used to replace the debrided tunica albuginea and a Small-Carrion prosthesis was placed.
