Abstract

Implantation of a penile prosthesis in men with complicated fibrosis of corpus cavernosum is very difficult and even impossible. Cavernosal dilation requires sharp intracavernosal dissection to implant prosthesis, however complete removal of the fibrotic tissue is often impossible. We introduce a new technique using electric resection and electrovaporization of fibrotic tissue for implantation of penile prosthesis in a patient with severe corporeal fibrosis.
