Event Description
|
Inflatable penile prosthesis (ipp) placed a few months ago.Patient returns for "activation" but doesn't work as it should (something weird with pump which can happen ¿ usually resolves.Patient returns again and still not working.We decided to take to operating room for revision.But when i deliver the pump, it starts to work again.I literally can't get it to fail (once outside of body) and thus i assume that it is positional related in the scrotum.I move it to a different place and it "works." i'm concerned, and assume, that the pump once all of this heals will "fail again" since i didn't replace.Apparently manufacturer knew about this before it was replaced.Surgeon was informed by company that there is a "pump problem" with this device placed/manufactured within the time frame in which this patient received his initial implant.
