LONG-TERM MECHANICAL RELIABILITY OF AMS 700 SERIES INFLATABLE PENILE PROSTHESES: COMPARISON OF CX/CXM AND ULTREX CYLINDERS

Abstract

Although Ultrex cylinders provide length and girth expansion, Ultrex cylinders exhibit an increased mechanical failure rate at shorter followup compared with CX/CXM cylinders. This increased propensity for Ultrex cylinder problems should be closely monitored.
