A permanent and reliable surgical solution for erectile dysfunction
A penile prosthesis, commonly known as a penile implant, is a surgically placed device for men who experience erectile dysfunction and have not achieved results with other treatment methods.
Important: This method is generally recommended as a last resort when other treatments such as medication, injections or vacuum devices have not worked.
How a Penile Prosthesis Works
Inflatable penile prostheses consist of three main components:
Cylinders: Placed inside the penis; they create rigidity when filled with fluid
Pump: A manually operated mechanism placed inside the scrotum
Reservoir: A fluid reservoir stored in the abdominal cavity
Using the Prosthesis
Achieving an Erection
The pump in the scrotum is squeezed several times
Fluid from the reservoir fills the cylinders
The penis becomes rigid and ready for intercourse
Returning to the Flaccid State
The special release button on the pump is pressed
Fluid returns from the cylinders to the reservoir
The penis returns to its natural state
Advantages
Fully concealed inside the body — invisible from the outside
Provides a natural-feeling erection
Long-lasting (10–15 years)
Fully under the patient's own control
Who Is It Suitable For?
A penile prosthesis may be considered in the following situations:
Erectile dysfunction related to diabetes

Surgery and Risks
