Penile prosthesis surgery

Penile prosthesis implantation is a radical treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) when all other therapies have proven ineffective. The indications for implant placement include:

• Cavernous fibrosis
• Penile trauma
• Vascular pathologies (e.g., diabetes, atherosclerosis)
• ED following prostatectomy, adenomectomy, or TURP
• Peyronie’s disease

Patients who undergo penile prosthesis surgery retain all natural functions, including urination, ejaculation, penile shape, and sensitivity.

Types of penile implants

• Single-component implants: provide permanent rigidity. The prosthesis is manually adjusted: straightened before intercourse and bent downward afterward. This type is suitable for patients with limited hand mobility or reduced finger sensitivity.
• Three-component (hydraulic) implants: fully mimic natural erection and are almost undetectable. To achieve an erect state, the patient compresses a pump. These implants are recommended for patients with diabetes as well as elderly individuals.

Features of the procedure in global clinics

Specialized medical centers offering the latest treatments perform penile prosthesis implantation. The patient satisfaction rate for surgeries conducted by leading urological surgeons worldwide is 98%. Penile prosthesis surgery significantly enhances psychological well-being and self-esteem.

A crucial aspect of the procedure is its irreversibility. Therefore, a comprehensive high-level diagnostic examination is required to confirm the necessity of implant placement.
