Abstract

Thirteen male diabetic patients on immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplantation underwent implantation of 14 penile prostheses for treatment of organic impotence. Except for extended parenteral antibiotic therapy and increased steroid coverage postoperatively, the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative management in all 13 patients was similar to that of routine penile implantation procedures. No infections or erosion complications were encountered. We conclude that the penile prosthesis should be included in the armamentarium for the treatment of impotence in the immunosuppressed man.
