Table 1.

Advantages and disadvantages regarding the sequence of penile prosthesis implantation and plication surgery.

Penile prosthesis implantation before penile plication surgery Penile plication surgery before penile prosthesis implantation
Advantages Penile remodelling may reduce the residual curvature and the need for larger plication sutures No risk of an underlying penile prosthesis implant
Disadvantages

Risk of damage to underlying penile prosthesis cylinder

Potentially longer surgical time

Potentially ‘shorter’ corporal length measurement and ‘smaller’ penile prosthesis device placement

Potentially shorter penis (although the plication sutures can be adjusted)
