Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine whether or not the use of a penile traction therapy device known as RestoreX prior to implantation of a penile prosthesis can increase the length of the implant used during surgery. The device used in this study is commercially available and has been used successfully to facilitate penile lengthening in patients with diabetes and after a certain type of prostate surgery. Use of the device has not been shown to have any detrimental effects on sexual or overall health.

Interventions

DEVICEPenile Traction Device

Patients will be randomized into one of two groups: penile traction therapy 30 min 3x/day x 3 months, or control (no treatment). Preoperative erectile function surveys will be recorded in the EMR per standard of care. Following randomization, patients allocated to the treatment arm will be instructed how to use the device properly. Patients in the treatment arm will record a daily journal of use of the device (Appendix 1). After a minimum of 3 months, patients in the treatment arm will return for their scheduled procedure. Control arm patients will be scheduled directly for an OR date.

PROCEDUREInflatable Penile Prosthesis Implantation
