Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Preoperative Penile Traction Therapy on Post-penile Implant Length and Patient Satisfaction

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this study is to determine whether or not the use of a penile traction therapy device known as RestoreX prior to implantation of a penile prosthesis can increase the length of the implant used during surgery. The device used in this study is commercially available and has been used successfully to facilitate penile lengthening in patients with diabetes and after a certain type of prostate surgery. Use of the device has not been shown to have any detrimental effects on sexual or overall health.
