摘要

In the setting of an infected inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP),removal of the reservoir is a surgical challenge.We describe a novel technique for IPP reservoir removal at the time of IPP explantation utilizing laparoscopic instruments.We present two cases of infected IPPs requiring complete removal of all components of the implant.The corporal cylinders and scrotal pump were removed via a single penoscrotal incision.Through the same incision,a lighted,hand-held retractor was used for visibility,and laparoscopic instruments were utilized to dissect the tissue surrounding reservoir and the attached tubing until free.
