Abstract
Purpose of review: Numerous innovations have been made since the first inflatable penile prosthesis was introduced in 1973-not just of the implant apparatus itself, but crucially also in the surgical instruments used for prosthetic surgery. Starting with Dr. Furlow's revolutionary inserter tool, advancements were quickly made in dilators, retractors, and cavernotomes.
Recent findings: More recent innovations have been made in inserter tools, forceps, needle holders, clamps, and disposable instruments. Leading companies Boston Scientific and Coloplast have contributed significantly to the evolution of IPP surgical placement, and companies such as Uramix and Rigicon are developing a wide array of new specialized tools. We aim to summarize the instruments needed for IPP placement, with a focus on describing the variety of instrument innovations since Dr. Brantley Scott designed and placed the first IPP.
期刊介绍：
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
