Distal corporal anchoring stitch: a technique to address distal corporal crossovers and impending lateral extrusions of a penile prosthesis
Background: Unidentified distal crossovers, delayed distal crossovers, and impending lateral extrusion are complications
of penile prosthesis implant insertion but are not as common as prosthesis infection or mechanical failure.
Aim: To evaluate results of a surgical technique, the distal corporal anchoring stitch, that addresses fixation of the
penile prosthesis in patients with these complications.
Methods: A lateral sub-coronal incision is used on the side where the crossover or laterally extruding cylinder
