Abstract
A diabetic man with erectile dysfunction in whom two previous attempts at penile prosthesis implantation had failed was treated by using an iliac bone flap as a penile stiffener. The patient had satisfactory sexual function with his penis; it retained its size and stiffness during the 1-year follow-up period. We recommend this method for use in patients in whom multiple earlier attempts at penile prosthesis implantation were unsuccessful.
