Abstract
Insertion of either a semirigid or inflatable penile prosthesis at the completion of surgery for various malignancies was performed. Twelve men had implants and were followed at least one year with excellent results. Careful preoperative sexual counseling with the patient's spouse is recommended and adds immeasurably to the mental well-being of the patient in the postoperative period. Penile prostheses can be placed easily after radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy (perineal or retropubic), urethrectomy, and bilateral orchiectomy. Penile prosthesis placement may also be recommended for patients with less than adequate erectile function who may be undergoing pelvic lymphadenectomy with 1251 implantation for prostatic carcinoma.
