Résumé

A defective penile prosthesis is disconcerting for the surgeon performing
an implantation in a patient with erectile dysfunction.
We became aware of the defective Titan penile prosthesis just
after insertion of the left cylinder, which had an abnormal rotation
(180 degrees) due to abnormal rotated tubing, which occurred at
the manufacturing plant. We successfully performed the implantation
by cutting and re-connecting the tubing between the cylinder
and pump with a spare connector. When the surgeon encounters
a defective penile prosthesis with abnormal rotation of the cylinder
due to abnormal rotated tubing in the operative field, disconnection
and re-connection of the tubing using an extra connector are
alternative cost-effective maneuvers.
