Salvage penile prosthetic surgery utilizing temporary malleable implants

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a disorder of various etiologies related to vascular, neurogenic, psychologic, and pharmacologic factors with the most recalcitrant cases often occurring as the result of pelvic surgery such as radical prostatectomy (1). ED itself has been linked to negative self-perception, depression, marital problems, and suggestive of adverse cardiovascular health (2).
