Penile implant for intractable priapism associated with sickle cell disease.

Intractable, therapy-resistant priapism in a patient with sickle cell disease is presented. The patient was managed with insertion of an inflatable penile prosthesis. He consequently maintained potency and remains free of priapitic episodes. To our knowledge, immediate penile prosthesis insertion for management of priapism has not been reported. We discuss the indications and advantages of this approach and review the current literature.

Inguinal hernia as a rare cause of penile prosthesis malfunction . A report of two cases.

Penile prosthesis malfunction is associated with mechanical failure as well as with infection requiring removal of the prosthesis. We report on the 2 first cases in the literature of inflatable penile prostheses in the presence of inguinal hernia. We advocate early hernia repair in patients with inflatable penile prostheses to avoid malfunction related to hernia.

Priapism associated with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy in children: long-term effects on potency.

PURPOSE: Children with sickle cell priapism have traditionally been treated conservatively with surgery done as a last resort. Only sparse subjective data are available on the long-term assessment of potency in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all pediatric patients with sickle cell priapism who presented to Children's Hospital of Michigan between 1972 and 1992, and subsequently assessed erectile capabilities subjectively by questionnaire and objectively by RigiScan. RESULTS: Of the 15 patients interviewed 5 had undergone shunt procedures. The return of potency tended to vary inversely with patient age at onset and duration of priapism. CONCLUSIONS: Shunts performed within 48 hours, especially in postpubertal children, seemed more likely to preserve potency.
