Abstract
A comparison of the Small-Carrion and Scott-Bradley penile prostheses, based on our experience with their use over the last three years, is presented. Nearly all patients given either device were satisfied with the results. Selection of the type of prostheses to be used must be made on an individual basis, taking into consideration which choice will best suit the requirements of each patient. In the majority of cases, however, the patient may make the final choice himself.
