Penile prosthesis
Phalloprosthesis implantation is a surgical procedure involving the placement of an artificial implant into the penis to restore erectile function in men. The procedure is indicated for severe forms of erectile dysfunction that do not respond to medication or physiotherapy.
When is phalloprosthesis implantation indicated?
- In cases of complete erectile dysfunction refractory to pharmacological treatment.
- With fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa or Peyronie’s disease.
- After penile trauma resulting in deformity.
- As part of surgical gender-affirming procedures in transgender patients.
- In erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes mellitus, vascular disease, or neurological disorders.
Types of penile prostheses
- Flexible (semi-rigid) prostheses – consist of elastic rods that maintain constant rigidity but require manual positioning.
- Hydraulic (inflatable) prostheses – advanced systems with a pump mechanism that provide an erection on demand and a more natural appearance.
- Single-component and two-/three-component prostheses – differ in control mechanisms and overall comfort.
How is the procedure performed?
- Diagnostics and preparation – includes urological examination, penile vascular ultrasound, and blood and urine tests.
- Anesthesia – the operation is performed under spinal or general anesthesia.
- Implantation – the surgeon places the prosthesis into the corpora cavernosa through a small incision.
- Hemostasis and closure – cosmetic sutures are applied, and the function of the implant is checked.
- Postoperative recovery – the patient undergoes rehabilitation and receives instructions on prosthesis use.
