Penile Prosthetic Surgery

arrow back Back

Penile prosthetic surgery – prosthesis implantation in penis for the treatment of severe erectile dysfunction. In this case, the penile implant substitute cavernous bodies without visible signs of the intervention. It's like replacing a tube in a flat tire, but the tire itself stays the same.

There are semi-rigid and inflatable (hydraulic) penile implants. The latter are the most convenient in everyday life, create a more natural erection and are completely invisible.

To achieve an erection with a semi-rigid penile prosthesis, it simply necessary to straighten the penis. Deactivation of the implant is carried out by bending the organ parallel to the scrotum.

To achieve an erection with a inflatable penile prosthesis, you need to press several times on the lower part of the pump, which is hidden in the scrotum behind the testicles. The transfer of the implant to an inactive state is carried out by pressing the button in the upper part of the same pump.

Implantation of modern penile prostheses can be done through 3 different skin incisions: on the scrotum, on the pubis or behind the head of the penis. Each method is preferred in specific situations, depending on concomitant diseases. In this regard, it is desirable that the operation is performed by a surgeon who knows all the methods of penile prosthetic surgery, so that the optimal option for a particular patient is applied.

The resource of modern hydraulic penile prostheses exceeds 20 years of service and they are covered by a lifetime warranty against breakage. Semi-rigid implants function on average for about 10 years.
