Hemostatic Matrix During Corporotomy Closure

Abstract

FIGURE 1 The “no touch” enhancement to the placement of a virgin inflatable penile prosthesis decreases the infection rate to 0.46%. An additional step to the “no touch” technique aids in the reduction of potential postoperative hematoma formation. Two well-documented methods of preventing a postimplant scrotal hematoma are a closed-suction drain and a “mummy wrap.” A novel technique to facilitate reliable and safe cylinder placement with minimal postoperative scrotal swelling is described along with patient outcomes. © 2014 International Society for Sexual Medicine
