Description |
Prosthesis, Penile At the same time that the Brantley Scott inflatable prosthesis was being developed, in 1974, Dr. M.P. Small and his group developed the Small-Carrion device and published the results on the implantation of this prosthesis in 31 patients 2 years later. The authors described a much easier surgical implantation technique for the sponge-filled silicone prostheses through a perineal incision. Favorable results were obtained in 28 and were followed shortly by a more extensive report on 160 cases. Independent reports by Finney and Subrini and Couvelaire addressed the "permanent erectile state" by proposing the concept of a "hinged" device with soft silicone in the middle of the implant. |
