By eliminating the separate reservoir, this provides certain advantages for patient and surgeon. Nevertheless, it composes a small percentage of all IPPs implanted in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To detail the surgical technique for implantation, describe the ideal patient candidates best suited for the Ambicor, and discuss the most common and some rare complications with a review of the available published literature in combination with our clinical experience.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A PubMed literature search was performed to obtain all peer-reviewed articles published in English specifically on the Ambicor 2-piece IPP. We also reviewed our clinical experience with the Ambicor during the past 2 decades.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The published data remain limited, because few articles on the Ambicor have been published in the past 10 years. Overall complication rates were 2.1% to 9.5%. Patient satisfaction rates were 75% to 96.4%, with similar partner satisfaction rates. Relative contraindications for implantation include patients with significant penile deformities, long narrow phalluses, or short phalluses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite the limited available published data with short follow-up periods, this review provides a comprehensive discussion on the technical aspects and relevant perioperative counseling recommended for Ambicor implantation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The prosthetic urologist should offer the Ambicor 2-piece IPP to patients with erectile dysfunction whose non-surgical treatment has failed. Certain implanters might want to avoid the blind retropubic reservoir placement that occurs with 3-piece IPPs and might not be comfortable with an ectopic approach and therefore prefer using a 2-piece device. We believe the ideal Ambicor candidate is a patient with a current or future pelvic organ transplant, decreased manual dexterity, in need of complete phallic reconstruction, or with known extensive prior abdominopelvic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2017.12.010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,13]],"date-time":"2018-01-13T00:35:22Z","timestamp":1515803722000},"page":"410-415","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Ambicor 2-Piece Inflatable Penile Prosthesis: Who and How?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"George A.","family":"Abdelsayed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Division of Urology , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Rush University Medical Center , Chicago, IL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence A.","family":"Levine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Division of Urology , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Rush University Medical Center , Chicago, IL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012309221704300_bib1","first-page":"489","article-title":"Penile prosthesis surgery: current recommendations from International Consultation on Sexual Medicine","volume":"13","author":"Levine","year":"2016","journal-title":"J\u00a0Sex Med"},{"key":"2023012309221704300_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(73)90224-0","article-title":"Management of erectile impotence.
