Successful implantation of penile prostheses in organ transplant patients. 1989

Division of Urology, Stanford University Medical Center, California.

We present our experience with implantation of penile prostheses in 6 organ transplant recipients, including 2 patients after renal transplantation and 4 patients after cardiac transplantation. We have seen no problems related to prosthesis surgery in this patient population, and in particular have experienced no infectious complications. All patients received strict perioperative antibiotic and steroid coverage. We conclude that erectile impotence in the male organ transplant patient can be successfully treated with penile prosthesis surgery without incurring undue morbidity and with considerable benefit in terms of quality of life in a generally young patient population.
