The indications for phalloplasty were penile inadequacy secondary to bladder exstrophy\u2013epispadias complex (46.5%), penile cancer (18.6%), trauma (16.7%), disorder of sex differentiation or micropenis\/hypospadias (14.7%), male\u2013female reversal (2.7%), and infection (0.8%). A radial artery forearm free flap was used in 91.1% of patients. The AMS 700 inflatable prosthesis was the most common device inserted. Most studies used a graft to cover the distal cylinder tips to reduce the risk of erosion. Up to 64.3% of patients experienced a complication. Infection, mechanical failure\/dysfunction, and malposition\/migration\/under-sizing occurred in up to 33.3%, 28.6% and 40%, respectively. Explantation was required in up to 40% of patients for erosion. Up to 33.3% of patients had their erectile device revised or replaced. Overall, 80%\u2013100% were satisfied with the outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Erectile device insertion in AMAB individuals following phalloplasty for penile inadequacy is an acceptable and satisfying option to achieve rigidity for sexual intercourse.
