Current status of penile prosthesis implantation

D K Montague et al. Curr Urol Rep. 2000 Dec.

Abstract

Today most men with erectile dysfunction (ED) can be effectively treated with less invasive means than penile prosthesis implantation. Nevertheless, there remain men who do not respond to simple treatments such as systemic medication and who either do not respond to or reject intermediate treatment such as penile injection therapy. For these men, penile prosthesis implantation remains a reasonable option. This review discusses types of penile prostheses, how to choose among prosthesis types, key features of implant techniques, infection management, penile reconstruction related to prosthesis implantation, and patient and partner satisfaction.
