What is Penile Prosthesis Implantation?
Penile prosthesis implantation is a surgical procedure used to treat severe erectile dysfunction (ED) that does not respond to medication, injections, or other treatments.
A prosthetic device is placed inside the penis to enable firm, reliable erections suitable for sexual intercourse.
Penile implants are completely hidden inside the body and are not visible externally.
This surgery offers one of the highest satisfaction rates among all ED treatments.
Why is Penile Prosthesis Surgery Needed?
Surgery is recommended when erectile dysfunction is caused by:
-
Peyronie’s disease with erectile dysfunction
-
Severe diabetes-related ED
-
Vascular insufficiency
-
Nerve damage after prostate or pelvic surgery
-
Trauma or congenital disorders
-
Failure of oral medications (Viagra, Cialis)
-
Failure of injection therapy or vacuum devices
Penile prosthesis provides a permanent and natural-feeling solution to restore sexual function.
