Table 1. Studies combining penile prosthesis implantation with additional penile plication.
| Ref (year) | Study period/origin/follow-up | Number of patients (mean age) | Surgical technique | Implant type | Pre-OP curvature | Post-OP residual curvature | Post-OP satisfaction rate | Post-OP penile length | Complications |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rahman et al. (2004) | 2000–2003 USA, 22 mo | 5 (42 yr) | Plication prior to PPI; 1-2 pair of 2-0 non-absorbable sutures; simple plication without tunical incision | Inflatable 3-piece penile prothesis | 90° | None | N/A | N/A | No major complication |
| Hudak et al. (2013) | 2007–2012 USA, 14 mo | 11 (N/A) | Simple plication without tunical incision; series of 2-0 non-absorbable sutures; no degloving | Inflatable 3-piece penile prothesis | 41° (30°–55°) | 4° (0°–10°) | 90.9% | 80% subjective shorter penis | No major complication |
| Chung et al. (2014) | 2010–2013 USA, 15.4 mo | 18 (63 yr) | Simple plication without tunical incision; 2-3 pair of 2-0 non-absorbable sutures; no degloving | Inflatable 3-piece penile prothesis | 39° (30°–60°) | <5° (<5°–12°) | 83.3% | 50% subjective shorter penis | No-functioning Implant: 1; Herniated space of Retzius reservoir: 1 |
