To present a surgical revision technique for managing rare tubing failures in inflatable penile prostheses.
Surgical video demonstration of a complete system revision for an inflatable penile prosthesis.
Preoperative ultrasound assessed the reservoir for signs of defects.
Penoscrotal approach used for surgical exploration and inspection of the device components.
Direct access over the reservoir facilitated the identification of the tubing rupture.
Identified a rare tubing rupture distal to the reservoir lockout valve during surgery.
Successfully replaced the old reservoir with a new one and re-implanted an inflatable penile prosthesis.
Emphasized the need for complete system revision in cases of suspected leakages, even in new implants.
