The redesigned Ambicor 2-piece penile prosthesis appears to be safe and effective. It is associated with a low rate of revision as well as high patient and partner satisfaction.
A buccal mucosa graft placed dorsally or ventrally remains an excellent graft material in the bulbar and pendulous urethra.

It is probably inadvisable to apply a single set of normative values to all American men because of significant variability in regional climates and populations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
