American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, Minnesota. Materials and Methods: Ultrex cylinders were replaced by AMS700CX cylinders in 7 men with erectile deformities. Results: Deformities were corrected successfully in all 7 patients. The penis is completely straight in 6 patients, while a mild 30-degree ventral curvature is present in 1. Conclusions: Erectile deformities with the AMS700 Ultrex penile prosthesis can be repaired successfully by replacement with the AMS700CX cylinders.
