It was reported that the patient had the spectra penile prosthesis removed as the patient was not satisfied with the device.Corpora reconstruction at left proximal was also reported.A new ambicor penile prosthesis consisting of 20 cm x 14 mm cylinders and pump were implanted.Additional information received indicated the patient had multiple implants with multiple revisions and the surgeon could not identify the left corpora.The physician used a biologic mesh to surgically reconstruct the left corpora so that he could insert a new implant.This was due to a pre-existing issue and not due to the spectra device.The patient did not like the appearance or the way the semi-rigid implant felt and desired to go back to a fluid filled device.Due to the patient's extensive medical history including a kidney transplant and an artificial urinary sphincter, the surgeon did not want to implant a device with a reservoir, therefore implanted the ambicor penile prosthesis.
