Erectile Dysfunction

Penile pros­the­ses are a form of treat­ment for erec­tile dys­func­tion of var­i­ous ori­gins: organ­ic (e.g., severe dia­betes), anatom­i­cal (e.g., Pey­ronie’s dis­ease), or fibro­sis of the cav­ernous bod­ies (pri­apism, infec­tions), in cas­es where oth­er treat­ment meth­ods, such as injec­tions into the cav­ernous bod­ies of the penis, fail or can­not be used. The hydraulic penile pros­the­sis is an effec­tive and mod­ern method for treat­ing erec­tile dys­func­tion. This implan­ta­tion pro­ce­dure is also used in indi­vid­u­als after rad­i­cal prosta­te­c­to­my, which is the com­plete removal of the prostate gland, serv­ing as a last resort in the ther­a­py of patients after unsuc­cess­ful attempts with oth­er, less inva­sive meth­ods. A penile implant allows for the restora­tion of full erec­tile func­tion and improve­ment in the qual­i­ty of sex­u­al life. Penile implants are the best solu­tion when oth­er meth­ods do not yield the expect­ed results. The implan­ta­tion of a penile implant is a pro­ce­dure that brings many ben­e­fits, includ­ing improved sex­u­al func­tion and over­all qual­i­ty of life for patients. Mod­ern penile pros­the­ses allow for the main­te­nance of a nat­ur­al appear­ance of the penis in a flac­cid state, which fur­ther enhances the com­fort and sat­is­fac­tion of patients and their part­ners.
