The management of non-infectious complications of penile implant surgery-a narrative review.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2026. 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 implant surgery is a well-established treatment for erectile dysfunction. While patient and partner satisfaction rates are high, any non-infectious complication can significantly affect functional outcomes, revision rates and long-term device survival. This narrative review synthesises contemporary evidence on the prevention, recognition and management of non-infectious complications across the pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative phases of penile implant surgery. A structured search of PubMed from 1980 to 2024 identified 38 relevant articles. Infectious complications were excluded as they represent a distinct clinical entity with separate diagnostic and therapeutic pathways and have been extensively reviewed elsewhere. This narrative review aims to provide a consolidated, practical resource for penile prosthetic surgeons by integrating anatomical considerations, technical pitfalls and evidence-based versus expert-based recommendations with prevention strategies and early recognition of non-infectious complications, the key component in optimizing long-term outcomes.
