It was reported that the patient experienced bleeding approximately three weeks after implantation of the inflatable penile prosthesis (ipp).The bleeding subsequently resulted in tissue scarring, causing the pump to become high riding and fixed within the surrounding scar tissue.As a result, the pump was unable to function properly, and the device could not be deflated.A surgical procedure was performed during which the pump was explanted, scar tissue was removed from the scrotum, and a new tenacio pump was implanted.The new pump was connected to the previously implanted cylinders, tested, and confirmed to be functioning properly.No additional patient complications were reported.
