The insertion of two silicone rods into the penile corpora cavernosa (Small-Carrion penile prosthesis) is a considerable procedure for operative management of erectile impotence. Of 61 treated patients, 55 had a satisfactory anatomical and functional result, most of them regained the same sexual activity as prior to onset of impotence. Their partners were satisfied, too. Preoperative evaluation of causes of impotence is particularly important. Type and number of complications in this operative procedure are reported in detail.
