To determine whether patients with solid organ transplant (SOT) are at higher risk of developing complications after inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation.

We retrospectively reviewed outcomes data for all patients with SOT who underwent IPP placement at our institution. A cohort of age-matched IPP recipients without SOT were used as controls.

We identified 26 patients who underwent SOT and IPP between 1999 and 2015, and 26 controls. Transplants included heart (3), liver (2), kidney only (17), and kidney and pancreas (4). Mean follow-up time after IPP placement was 29.5 months (SOT group) and 13.5 months (controls). Age at IPP did not significantly differ between groups (53.7 + 8.1 vs 56.4 + 9.0, P = .26), nor did body mass index (30.3 + 5.5 vs 30.2 + 4.7, P = .92), history of prostatectomy (7.7% vs 15.4%, P = .39), rectal surgery (3.9% vs 3.9%, P = 1.00), hyperlipidemia (69.2% vs 69.2%, P = 1.00), hypertension (92.3% vs 76.9%, P = .25), or heart disease (57.7% vs 30.8%, P = .093). Peripheral vascular disease was more common in transplant patients (26.9% vs 3.9%, P = .021), as were stroke (19.2% vs 0.0%, P = .05) and diabetes (84.6% vs 53.6%, P = .016). No significant differences in IPP reoperation rates existed between patients with vs without SOT (11.5% vs 11.5%, P = 1.00), nor did they differ by organ transplanted (P = 1.00). No differences in IPP reoperation rate existed between 2-piece vs 3-piece IPP models (P = .47).

Outcomes of IPP implantation in patients with SOT are similar to those of nontransplant patients. Patients with SOT should be considered suitable candidates for penile prosthesis.
