Penile Implant Intraoperative Measurements Planning Chart

Overview

This is a chart of penile size measurements where penile length and width are recorded intra-operatively prior to penile prosthesis implantation to guide the surgeon to the correct and adequate post-operative penile size

The chart records preoperative penile dimensions as penile length and circumference both relaxed and stretched, both in a de-tumescent and erect state, before after intra-operative injection of 1cc Prostaglandin E1 respectively, to enhance pharmacological tumescence. The implantation of the penile implant will resume with the cavernosal sparing technique. After the penile prosthesis has been implanted, penile length and girth will be measured and the penile implant dimensions will be recorded in the chart. The PIMP chart will assist the surgeon in assuring he sized the penis most adequately with the implant by taking the penile dimensions ( Length and Circumference). To assure that the penis was not oversized with the implant, the post-operative penile length should not exceed the pre-operative penile tumescent stretched length. To assure that the penis was not undersized, the postoperative penile length should not be less than the pre-operative tumescent non-stretched penile length.. The chart will also document the patients' penile dimensions pre and post operatively and could be used as an objective tool for post-operative patient counseling and reassurance about the results of the penile implant surgery.
