The use of iliac bone flap as a penile stiffener in a diabetic patient with erectile dysfunction

Plast Reconstr Surg. 1999 Jun;103(7):1975-8. doi: 10.1097/00006534-199906000-00025.

Abstract

A diabetic man with erectile dysfunction in whom two previous attempts at penile prosthesis implantation had failed was treated by using an iliac bone flap as a penile stiffener. The patient had satisfactory sexual function with his penis; it retained its size and stiffness during the 1-year follow-up period. We recommend this method for use in patients in whom multiple earlier attempts at penile prosthesis implantation were unsuccessful.
