Infrapubic Insertion Of Penile Implants In Transmen After Phalloplasty

OBJECTIVE To describe the infrapubic approach to penile prosthesis insertion in transmen after phalloplasty.MATERIALS AND METHODS After verifying phalloplasty vascular pedicle anatomy and reliable micturition, patients may be considered for implant surgery. Specific modifications of the infrapubic approach to penile prosthesis insertion as well as individualization of commercially available implants are performed intra-operatively to help reduce the risk of postoperative complications.RESULTS In our single surgeon series (MLC) using the infrapubic approach with these specific implants after phalloplasty, 17/107 (16%) patients from October 2017 to November 2020 required revision surgery after mean follow-up of 79.8 weeks.CONCLUSION Our infrapubic prosthesis insertion after phalloplasty technique with modifications to commercially available implants may help reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
