Management of penile prosthesis complications: a case series and review of current surgical strategies.
Review in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Penile prostheses offer a definitive solution for organic erectile dysfunction, particularly in cases where medical therapies are ineffective or contraindicated. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and infection-resistant materials, complications still arise. This article presents a case series of three patients experiencing different penile prosthesis complications, including severe penile pain, perineal infection, and prosthesis displacement. Management strategies included surgical removal and replacement of prostheses, administration of antibiotics, and careful post-operative monitoring. Key complications discussed include infections, erosion, mechanical malfunctions, and persistent pain. Effective management involves strict aseptic techniques, patient education, and prompt surgical intervention when necessary. This study underscores the importance of meticulous surgical practice and ongoing patient care to mitigate complications and improve outcomes for penile prosthesis recipients.
