This article provides a clinical example of the simultaneous implantation of an artificial sphincter of the bladder and a triple-component prosthesis of the penis, which allows almost completely to rehabilitate a patient with total incontinence and erectile dysfunction after laparoscopic radical prostatectom y for prostate cancer. The urgency of writing this article was a high incidence of prostate cancer, which has no tendency to decrease.It should be noted that when choosing the optimal method for treating prostate cancer, it is necessary to take into account the stage of the disease development, the patient’s age, concomitant diseases, possible complications, test results, and the wishes of the patient. In the stages of prostate cancer T1T2, radical prostatectomy in any of its embodiments, openly laparoscopically or with the help of a robot is a routine operation, at stage T3, in order to achieve an acceptable result, it is necessary not only sufficient surgical technique, but the correct preoperative preparation (the use of hormone therapy).One of the frequent complications of radical prostatectomy at stage T3 is urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, which is caused by the need for more “aggressive” techniques, the frequency of which reaches, in the opinion of different authors, 30 to 90%. With incontinence after a radical prostatectomy of moderate and severe degree, the implantation of an artificial urethral sphincter remains the preferred method of treatment. Artificial sphincter allows you to fully control the process of retention of urine and urination. Note that the restoration of potency after surgery is a very difficult problem. After the operation, one of the methods of preserving the erectile function is the early administration of 5fosofodiesterase inhibitors, but their reception does not always allow to maintain the erectile function, in this case, patients can be rehabilitated by penile implantation. The installation of a three-component phalloprosthesis or artificial sphincter separately is already a routine operation, but simultaneous treatment of two com plications and sim ultaneous im plantation of two prostheses is a rarity.
