Definitions
- ABSTRACT A prosthesis for implantation in the penis to provide a flaccid penis with rigidified dimensions of length and of width, and with the property of flexural stiffness.
- the prosthesis is used in pairs, each of which is a onepiece member that includes a composite rod having a dimension of axial length and, for the major proportion of its length, is composed of two physically distinct bodies which are integrally joined to each other, one of which is more resistant to bending and to compressive deformation than the other, and a prong extending from said rod, said prong decreasing in lateral cross-section as it extends away from the rod.
- One of the bodies is stiffly flexible.
- the first of the bodies is a tube of solid material having an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall defining an axially extending cavity, the second body filling the cavity, the said first body being the one which is stiffly flexible.
- the second body is preferably made of a gel or of a foam.
- This invention relates to a penile prosthesis for implantation in the penis to provide it with rigidified dimensions of length and width, and having the property of flexural stiffness.
- a disadvantage common to prior art prostheses is their inability to provide at the same time sufficient rigidified dimensions of length and of width. It is a feature of this invention that implantation of a pair of the subject prostheses provides not only flexural stiffness, but maintains the length, girth and width of the penis at useful values. Furthermore, the flexural stiffness (which is permanent) is such as to be manageable without embarrassment by the wearing of suitable undergarments.
- the prosthesis according to this invention can readily be implanted with straightforward surgical techniques and remains in place as a permanent and useful implantation.
- a prosthesis according to this invention comprises a one-piece member which includes a composite rod that has a dimension of axial length and, for the major proportion of its length, is composed of two physically distinct bodies that are integrally joined to each other.
- One of the bodies is more resistant to bending and to compressive deformation than the other.
- a prong extends away from said rod, the prong decreasing in lateral cross-section as it extends away from the rod.
- One of the bodies is stiffly flexible.
- the first of the said bodies is a tube of solid material which has an inner wall and an outer wall.
- the inner wall defines an axially extending cavity, and the second body fills the cavity.
- the first body is the one which is stiffly flexible.
- the material of the second body is a gel or a foam.
- FIG. 1 shows a pair of prostheses according to the presently preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the pair of prostheses of FIG. 1 implanted in the penis
- FIG. 3 is a cross-section taken at line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a cross-section taken at line 44 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. I there is shown a pair of identical prostheses 10, 11 and indicating their curvatures in the undistorted position. Only prosthesis 11 will be described in detail, because they are identical.
- This prosthesis comprises a one-piece member 12 which includes a composite rod 13, whose dimension of axial length is indicated by dimension 14. For a major proportion of this dimension of length, the rod is composed of two physically distinct bodies that are integrally joined with one another. The first body 15 is the outer body, and the second body 16 is inside it.
- the second body extends for substantially the full length of the composite rod, except for the length of an end closure 17 and of a small solid transition portion 18 at the other end.
- the first body 15 is a tube of solid material having an inner wall 20 and an outer wall 21.
- the inner wall defines an axially extending cavity 22, and the second body fills this cavity.
- the first, outer, body is the more stifl'ly flexible, and this stiff flexibility is derived from the fact that it is made of solid material and of a tubelike construction which tends to resist bending and tends to restore itself inherently as a function of its stiff flexibility to the undistorted shape shown in FIG. 1.
- the second, inner, body is less resistant to bending and to compressive deformation.
- the presently preferred material of which the second body is made is a cellular foam which has some structural integrity, but less than that of the solid material, because of the formation of voids 23 in the foam.
- a gel may be used instead of a foam. Both the gel and the foam tend to fill the volume of the cavity and, by doing so, tend to be resistant to compression of the cavity and thereby lend some side support to the outer wall, tending to resist buckling and crumpling.
- the foam is more reliable for this purpose than the gel, but both are suitable.
- a prong 25 forms another part of the one-piece member and extends continuously from the transition portion 18 of the prong. It may be separately manufactured and cemented to the rod.
- the outer boundary of any lateral cross-section of the rod and of the prong is circular, as can best be seen in FIG. 3.
- the term lateral cross-section means a cross-section which is taken normally to the axis 26 of the prosthesis, meaning its general direction of length.
- the prong makes an obtuse angle 27 with the rod.
- the prong is solid and of a uniform material throughout.
- a suitable material of construction for the entire prosthesis is silicone rubber which can readily be formulated by known techniques. This material when solid is inherently flexible and tends to be shape-retaining. The foam also has this property, but less so than the solid, continuous material without any voids.
- the basic material used for both bodies may be the same, namely a medical grade silicone elastomer, for example, the silicone elastomer sold by Dow-Corning Corporation of Midland, Mich., under its trade style MDX-4-4515.
- a heat-sensitive catalyst in the composition sets the material into a solid, non-gummy structure.
- the durometer hardness can be controlled by appropriate selection of heat and curing time, and this will be selected properties for the prosthesis.
- the material for the second body is preferably the same elastomer, but cured while mixed with a blowing agent which while curing decomposes so as to put gas, usually nitrogen, into the material to form the voids.
- a blowing agent which while curing decomposes so as to put gas, usually nitrogen, into the material to form the voids.
- gas usually nitrogen
- void proportion between about 20 percent and about 50 percent appears to be appropriate.
- a suitable blowing agent is sold by E. I. duPont Chemical Company under its trade style Nitrosan.
- the material of which the second body is made need not be made of silicone rubber, for the reason that it will not make contact with the human tissue, but it is convenient to make it of the same material. Silicone rubber, of course, is inert to the tissue which surrounds.
- Silicone rubber of course, is inert to the tissue which surrounds.
- the dimension of axial length 14 is conveniently approximately 13 cm., and the length of the prong is conveniently approximately 4.5 cm.
- the outer diameter of the outer wall will tend to be on the order of about 0.9 to 1.1 cm. These dimensions are arbitrary and are dependent upon the physical characteristics of the person in whom the prosthesis is to be implanted. In a device having a rod of outer diameter of approximately 1.1 cm., the diameter of the inner wall is on the order of 0.55 cm., and the wall thickness is uniform.
- the prong decreases to approximately two-thirds its initial diameter as it extends away from end to end.
- a pair of the prostheses is shown being implanted in the penis in FIG. 2.
- the corpus cavernosa 30, 31 are shown, which are generally tubular structures within the penis into which the respective rods will be fitted.
- the pubic symphysis 32 is shown as are the crus 33, 34 of the corpus cavernosa.
- the ischeal tuberosity is disposed toward the base and rearward of the section shown in FIG. 2 in accordance with known physiology.
- the rod has a gentle curvature, and the curvature is substantially as shown to scale.
- FIG. 4 shows the prostheses implanted, the urethra 35 being schematically shown as are the corpus cavernosa.
- the patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and the perineum and genitalia are completely prepped and draped.
- a No. 16 Fr. Foley catheter is inserted into the urethra to be used for identification purposes only, and is removed at the completion of the operative procedure.
- a vertical midline incision is made in the perineum from the base of the scrotum. The incision is carried down to the bulbocavernosus muscle which is identified from its appearance, as well as with the indwelling catheter. All fat is removed from this muscle, as well as from each of the ischiocavernosus muscles.
- the bulbocavernosus muscle and urethra are then retracted laterally, and all overlying fat is removed from the right ischiocavernosus muscle.
- a vertical incision is then made in the right ischiocavernosus muscle and crus of the penis for a distance of approximately 2% cm.
- the edges of the ischiocavernosus muscle and crus of the penis are then grasped with Allis clamps, and the corpus cavernosa is gradually dilated with Hegar dilators.
- the dilation is first carried distally to the most distal extent of the corpus cavernosa so that the dilator can be felt under the glans penis.
- the dilation is then carried proximally to the ischial tuberosity.
- the incision in the corpus cavernosa and ischial cavernosus muscle is then closed with a continuous suture of 3-0 chromic catgut.
- the bulbocavernosus and muscle and urethra are then retracted to the chondral laterial side and, using the same technique, another of these prostheses is inserted in the chondral lateral corpus cavernosa.
- the subcutaneous tissues are closed with multiple interrupted sutures of 3-0 plain catgut, and the skin is closed with multiple interrupted sutures of 4-0 chromic catgut.
- the Foley catheter is then removed.
- the proper prosthesis size depends upon the length of the corpus cavernosa and must be determined at the time of surgery. The longest prosthesis is used which will comfortably fit within the corpus cavernosa, so that the prosthesis will fit underneath the glans without slippage of the glans over the top of the prosthesis.
- the penis follows the normal curve of the prosthesis and tends to lie toward the abdomen. However, after the wounds have healed, the penis can then be placed in its normal position and can be held there with jockey shorts. Complete healing usually takes about 2 weeks, and the patients are ready for intercourse in 2 to 3 weeks after surgery.
- the patients are prophylatically given Garamycin to prevent any infection in the corpora.
- the foregoing penile implant provides a unitary construction which, when implanted in pairs as shown, provides a substantial dimension of width and of length to the flaccid penis, as well as a suitable flexural rigidity.
- a solid rod of silicone rubber would not be suitable, because it would be too rigid when made in the required dimensions.
- the use of an unsupported thin-walled tube would be unsatisfactory, because an unsupported tube of the dimensions involved would tend to buckle too readily to give the desired support.
- foam relates to a material which forms a continuous matrix interspersed with voids.
- the prong is shaped to fit nicely in the intended region and serves as an anchor to prevent the rod from turning to a position where it might not given an appropriate angular support.
- a prosthesis for implantation in the penis to provide a flaccid penis with rigidified dimensions of length and width and with the property of flexural stiffness comprising a one-piece member which includes a composite rod having a dimension of axial length and, for the major proportion of its length, comprising two physically distinct bodies that are integrally joined to each other, one of which is more resistant to bending and to compressive deformation than the other, and a prong extending from said rod, said prong decreasing in lateral cross-section as it extends away from the rod, one of the bodies being stiffly flexible.
- a prosthesis according to claim I in which a first of said bodies is a tube of solid material having an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall defining an axially extending cavity, the second body filling the said cavity, the said first body being the one which is stiffly flexible.
- a prosthesis according to claim 1 in which the outer boundary of a lateral cross-section taken at any location along the length of the rod is substantially circular.
- a prosthesis according to claim I4 in which the outer boundary of a lateral cross-section taken at any location along the length of the rod is substantially circular.
- a prosthesis according to claim 15 in which the diameter of the said outer boundary is substantially that of the inner diameter of a dilated corpus cavernosa, and the dimensions of the prong are such as to fit firmly in the ischial tuberosity of the crus of the penis.
- a prosthesis according to claim 16 in which a first of said bodies is a tube of solid material having an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall defining an axially extending cavity, the second body filling the said cavity, the said first body being the one which is stiffly fiexible.
