Abstract Body : Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a globally prevalent condition with significant impacts on the quality of life for patients. The first line of treatment for ED constitutes medications to improve long-term outcomes; however, when medications and other measures fail to treat, penile prosthetic implants are desirable options for some patients. The competitive advantage of the penile prosthesis implant is its efficacy, even in the most refractory cases. We herein report a penile prosthesis implant case on a donor, previously not seen in dissected donor bodies at Oakland University William Beaumont (OUWB) School of Medicine. A three-piece penile implant was dissected in a 66-year-old male donor with co-morbidities of congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes. The prosthesis implant consisted of a fluid reservoir in the lower abdominal wall, a pump bulb and release valve within the scrotum, and inflatable capsules inside the shaft of the penis. With ED being such a prevalent disorder, unique donor presentations of surgical procedures, as seen in our donor, might serve as important clinical evidence. Donor dissection was utilized by first-year medical students at OUWB to gain a better understanding of human anatomy along with the possibility of exploring various pathologies. The unique opportunity to explore the penile prosthesis implant allows discussion of the features of this case, including a detailed scope of the anatomy underlying this surgical procedure, along with the implications of raising awareness in the community of current and future healthcare providers.
