Penile Implant Surgery
Articles and resources for Penile Implant Surgery in Urologic Surgery.
Penile implant surgery is a medical procedure designed to treat erectile dysfunction, particularly in cases where other treatments have been ineffective. This surgery is often considered for men who have experienced erectile dysfunction due to various conditions, such as diabetes, prostate cancer, or spinal cord injuries. The procedure aims to restore sexual function and improve quality of life for patients who may feel frustrated or limited by their condition.
During the surgery, a urologic surgeon typically places a device inside the penis to allow for an erection when desired. The procedure usually involves making an incision and may be performed under general or regional anesthesia. Recovery time can vary, but patients are generally advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Follow-up appointments are important to monitor healing and ensure the device is functioning correctly.
The benefits of penile implant surgery can include restored sexual function, increased confidence, and improved intimacy with partners. However, like any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks, such as infection, device malfunction, or changes in penile sensation. Patients are encouraged to discuss these aspects with their healthcare provider to gain a comprehensive understanding of what to expect.
