PENILE IMPLANT

Many men have erectile dysfunction that requires treatment. Many men will progress through medication, vacuum devices, and penile injections as their erectile dysfunction becomes more severe. When these options fail men are then faced with the decision of when and if to choose the surgical option of a penile implant.

A penile implant is a permanent solution for a man suffering with erectile dysfunction and offers an erection whenever and wherever desired. It is a great solution for men who have exhausted other options who still want to be sexually active. Penile implants are safe, reliable and have a very high satisfaction among those men who choose the procedure.  

A 3 piece penile prosthesis is considered the "gold standard" when discussing penile prostheses. The device will get firm when inflated from a reservoir of fluid using a pump hidden in the scrotum. The device can be "deflated" using the deflate button on the pump that allows for the fluid to be transferred back into the reservoir. tburology, our team of skilled urologists provides comprehensive care for a range of urological conditions.

Most men will need to make the decision of a semirigid rod vs an inflatable device. both types of implants work very well and one is not better than another. The three piece device is the type used most often and men choosing this device are able to have a rigid erection when fully inflated and a flaccid penis when the device is deflated. The semi-rigid device is most often used when men have limited manual dexterity, but even men with good hands elect the semi-rigid device for its simplicity and longevity.
