Abstract

We report a case of an adult who had undergone transpubic urethroplasty for a 5-cm long posterior urethral stricture. A malleable penile prosthesis (AMS 600R) was implanted 19 months later for the trauma-related impotence. The patient was discovered to develop a complete obliteration of the urethra after removal of infected penile prosthesis 18 months later. Perineal urethroplasty cured his restricture. Suggestions are made to prevent urethral restricture if penile prosthesis is required after urethroplasty.
