Center for Male Potency, North Miami, Florida.

The G.F.S. Mark II inflatable penile prosthesis was implanted in 80 men who were followed for up to 27 months. In this study there have been no mechanical problems. Of the patients 6 required repositioning of the reservoir pump and 4 required postoperative addition of fluid to the reservoir pump. This study indicates that the revised connectorless G.F.S. Mark II inflatable penile prosthesis has eliminated the previous problems with connectors and tubings. The G.F.S. Mark II inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir pump provides a means of postoperative fluid adjustment within the system performed as an office procedure.
