Distal corporal stricture — fix by dilating the distal stricture.

Implant too short (technical error) — fix by putting in a longer implant.

Distal corporal retraction from ischemia — fix with a glans pexy.

The cases below show examples of an implant that is too short and the corrected result after placing a new, longer implant.
