ABSTRACT:
A tool, for forming a cavity in a corpus cavernosa of a penis, includes a distal end (14), a longitudinally-extending cutting surface (16), and a main body portion (18). The cutting portion may be cylindrical or tapered, and may contain more than one longitudinally disposed cutting surface (24). The tool may be made from stainless steel, or may include plastic portions. A method using the invention includes the steps of making an incision in the side of the penis adjacent the corpus cavernosa, and inserting the distal end of the tool into the spongy tissue, to define a cavity. If fibrous or resistant tissue is encountered, the cutting portion is brought adjacent the region, and the tool either moved axially to cut the tissue, or rotated about its longitudinal axis (8) to cut or shave the tissue. Multiple tools of a kit of tools may be sequentially inserted to expand the cavity to the desired dimension. When the cavity is completed, the object, which may be an expansible or inflatable chamber, is inserted into the cavity.
