Penile Gangrene Following Implantation of Penile Prosthesis in Renal Transplant Patient: Report of a Case

Erectile dysfunction (ED) etiology in patients with uremia and kidney transplant recipients may be multifactorial. Conservative therapies fail in these patients at rates as high as or higher than the general population. This leaves these patients with the limited options of abandoning sexual rehabilitation or undergoing placement of a penile prosthesis. However, underlying factors are associated with high complication rate, which preclude these patients from receiving penile prosthesis. Penile prosthesis infection in renal transplant patients is still a major challenge. We report a renal transplant patient with severe complications following implantation of penile prosthesis.
