Infection of the Penuma penile implant and associated post-operative complications: A case report

The Penuma penile implant is the only FDA approved device for cosmetic correction of the penis. We present a case of an infected Penuma implant that presented similarly to penile prosthesis infection. Explantation is recommended, similar to the management of infected penile prosthesis, via an infrap...

description The Penuma penile implant is the only FDA approved device for cosmetic correction of the penis. We present a case of an infected Penuma implant that presented similarly to penile prosthesis infection. Explantation is recommended, similar to the management of infected penile prosthesis, via an infrapubic approach, which differs from explantation of a penile prosthesis. Post-operatively, the patient developed penile shortening and dorsolateral curve, which is important to discuss when counseling patients.
