VJPU - The Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology

YOUR Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology

and Sexual Medicine Surgery

Word from The Editor-In-Chief

It is with great pride that I welcome you to participate in the Journal of Prosthetic Urology (VJPU). The journal was created by the ISSM to serve as a forum for sexual medicine to allow its members to exchange notable ideas via the visual medium. Our members are scattered across the globe and prosthetic urology is a tiny subspecialty of sexual medicine. A specific goal was to facilitate the transmission of surgical technique knowledge regarding the implantation of surgical devices related to sexual medicine.

Lateral Retroperitoneal Reservoir Placement During Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Placement: a Step-by-Step Guide

Authors: Jeffrey C. Loh-Doyle, Jeffery Lin, Sherry Huang, Dordy Sugano, Stuart D. Boyd

Key Words: Penile prosthesis, penile implant, reservoir, lateral retroperitoneum

This video provides detailed instruction on how place a penile prosthesis reservoir into the lateral retroperitoneum. This alternate location has been used at our institution for over 35 years in patients that have had prior surgery in the retropubic space including urinary diversion, intestinal diversion, and prostatectomy. With its intrinsically low pressure, ease of accessing, and absence of intestinal structures and major vasculature, the lateral retroperitoneum space can be safely used for prosthetic reservoir placement.
