Scrotal drainage after penile implant surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether draining fluid from the scrotum (the sac that holds the testicles) after penile implant surgery helps reduce complications. It may be a good option if you have erectile dysfunction that hasn't been helped by pills and are considering a penile implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
