Aims: To alert practitioners to complications regarding inflatable penile prostheses. Presentation of Case: A 56 year-old male with a history of an inflatable penile prosthesis and multiple revisions was found to have a small bowel obstruction. Computed tomography scan and subsequent surgery demonstrated a disconnected, displaced penile prosthesis reservoir as the cause of his bowel obstruction. Discussion: The inflatable penile prosthesis is a commonly used device for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. While patient satisfaction is high, this is device is prone to complications that arise with prosthetic, mechanical implants. Conclusion: Inflatable penile prostheses are common devices that can have immediate and delayed complications. Practitioners should be aware of the device and its complications when evaluating patients.
