  • InjurySep 30, 2026Material Deformation; Migration

    It was reported that patient experienced bulging and disfigurement in the penile body with the Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP). Upon revision, physician noticed that the reservoir wasn't placed correctly and caused a bulge in the abdominal cavity. Per additional information, it was later reported that also the polyester braided layer inside the cylinder ruptured, resulting in column deformation. As a result, the device was explanted and replaced. No further complications were reported.
