Introduction: Glanular hypermobility (GH) or supersonic transporter (SST) deformity are occasionally encountered during or after penile prosthesis (PP) implantation. The “frozen pump” is a phenomenon that patients experience postoperatively where they encounter difficulty inflating the device due to a rigid capsule formation around the pump leading to pump failure. In our video we describe our surgical approach in the management of GH, and the Frankenstein technique we utilize to address a "frozen pump".
Methods: Our video demonstrates our standard technique of using permanent sutures to repair GH with bilateral distal dorsal anchoring sutures and a deep glans suture. It also demonstrates our Frankenstein pump revision technique where a different brand device component may be utilized to replace the original device pump to ease device inflation.
Results: Successful repair of GH/SST deformity and revision of a non-functioning PP pump.
Conclusions: Glanulopexy with permanent suture successfully corrects severe GH or SST in men with inflatable PP. Using different brand components to revise PP pump can be done without compromise to mechanical function.
