Abstract

We describe our initial experience with the novel application of processed human cadaveric allograft skin in reconstruction of a damaged corpus cavernosum associated with distal extrusion of a penile prosthesis. The material was evaluated for ease of reconstruction, adequacy of repair, and outcome. Human processed dermis allograft requires no intraoperative harvesting, is technically easy to fashion, and offers adequate tensile strength in the reconstruction of damaged corpora cavernosa. This initial experience with processed human cadaveric dermis in reconstruction of damaged corpora cavernosa is encouraging. Further evaluation to define the long-term efficacy and scope of application of this material in urologic reconstructive procedures is warranted.
