Malleable penile prosthesis removal leaving behind the rear tip extenders: a clinical presentation.

Abstract

Perineal pain and a foreign body in a scout abdominal X-ray are reported as presenting symptoms of a patient who later gave an anamnesis of a penile prosthesis implantation which had become infected and was removed. The foreign bodies turned out to be two rear tip extenders of the prosthesis left behind causing the perineal pain.
