Abstract
After penile prosthesis (PP) implantation scrotum is prone to hematoma and oedema development. Elastic bandage “Mummy wrap” or drain are used as a prevention. The bandage often falls down, causes discomfort and disables patient’s mobilization and hygiene. We use scrotal kinesiology taping after PP implantation with success. Kinesiology tape is a thin, stretchy, elastic cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive, which is widely used for treatment of variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular and neurological conditions. It is easy and fast to apply. Its tension reduces bleeding, swelling and helps lymph to drain. Kinesiology tapes do not irritate skin and they should stay in the place up to 7 days, with no mobility restriction. In Prague we have implanted 14 three-piece inflatable penile implants in last twelve months (September 2017- September 2018) with use of kinesiology scrotal taping. None of the patients had prolonged scrotal oedema or scrotal hematoma. In comparison with patients done in previous period (March 2016- September 2017) 15 penile implants (13 three-piece inflatable, 2 malleable) with use of “mummy wrap”- 3 patients suffered from scrotal oedema more than two weeks after the procedure.
