they can extend the urethra, which I've not heard of any shining reports of it working well and not having to have more surgeries/major complications.

Urinary fistula (hole) requiring perineal urethrostomy Urinary fistula (hole) with conservative treatment Urinary retention (from stenosis or narrowing of the new urethra) (Erectile) prosthesis change (from complications) (Erectile) prosthesis explantation (removal of the prosthesis without replacement)
