Salvage of end-stage erectile dysfunction using vascularized fibula as autologous implant

Patients with multiple failed inflatable penile implants can present a formidable challenge to reconstructive surgeons with regard to restoring adequate sexual function. The standard approach to the patient after repeated episodes of unsuccessful salvage of penile prosthesis due to infection and/or extrusion is to remove the prosthesis, leaving the patient impotent. Vascularized autologous tissue transfer provides an option to salvage end-stage erectile dysfunction.
