a | The trans-scrotal approach incision involves a vertical or horizontal incision over the upper part of the scrotum. b | A penoscrotal approach uses an incision over the penoscrotal junction or extending into the penile shaft, which can provide better corporal exposure. c | An infrapubic incision is made one fingerbreadth above the penile pubic junction while gently pulling down on the penis and can provide direct visualization when inserting the reservoir. d | The subcoronal approach involves a subcoronal incision below the glans penis with degloving of the penis, enabling concurrent corporal reconstructive surgery at the time of inflatable penile prosthesis surgery as nearly the entire corpora can be accessed through the same incision.
