What is Penile Prosthesis Surgery?

Penile Prosthesis Surgery involves the surgical implantation of a medical device (an implant) into the penis to provide the structural rigidity necessary for sexual intercourse. It is considered the definitive, gold-standard solution for severe, refractory Erectile Dysfunction (ED) where all other non-surgical treatments have failed or when the underlying cause of ED is not responsive to medical therapy.

Treatment Details

Our urological surgeons utilise established prosthetic techniques, with a clinical focus on achieving functional and anatomical outcomes for each patient.

Procedure Focus Details & Benefits
Inflatable Prosthesis The most common type, allowing the patient to inflate the device for an erection and deflate it for concealment, offering a natural feel and reliable function.
Malleable Prosthesis A simpler, reliable device that can be manually positioned for intercourse.
Surgical Approach Utilising minimally invasive techniques (such as the infrapubic approach), pioneered to reduce recovery time and optimisze patient healing.
Concurrent Correction Often used in conjunction with correction for Peyronie’s Disease to address both rigidity and curvature simultaneously.

How visible is the implant?

The device is entirely internal and cannot be detected externally, ensuring complete discretion.
