INTRODUCTION: Capsular contraction (CC) occurring with inflatable penile prosthesis ( @entity34486 ) reservoirs has been reported by urologists as a cause of autoinflation. The concept of CC occurring around @entity34486 cylinders has not been studied. AIMS: Herein we report a case of CC occurring with nonlength-expanding @entity34486 cylinders, resulting in an S-shaped @entity85 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We sought to report a novel cause of S-shaped @entity85 in @entity1 after @entity34486 surgery. METHODS: We reviewed a recent clinical case and conducted a literature review on capsular scar formation in prosthetic surgery. We also conducted a literature review of the inflammatory cascade related with prosthetic surgery. RESULTS: Capsular contracture of nonlength-expanding cylinders resulting in S-shaped @entity85 has not been previously reported. The role of certain inflammatory markers seems to play a common role of capsular contracture in the penis and other prosthetic implantation sites. CONCLUSIONS: Capsular contractures around the cylinders of an @entity34486 can cause @entity85 , even in @entity1 who have appropriately sized, nonlength-expanding cylinders. A better understanding is needed regarding the mechanical properties of the tunica albuginea and the inflammatory cascade associated with penile implant surgery. This case represents an argument for early and @entity146 of the @entity34486 . Future studies should evaluate the role of inflammation modulators as adjuvant therapy after @entity34486 surgery.
