🏥 Penile Implant Surgery (Penile Prosthesis) Expertise of Dr. Yasir Iqbal

Penile implant surgery, also known as penile prosthesis surgery, is a highly effective and permanent solution for men with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) who have not responded to other treatments like medications or injections.

It involves the surgical placement of a medical device inside the penis to allow men to achieve an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.

📌 Who Is It For?

This surgery is typically recommended for:

• Men with chronic erectile dysfunction unresponsive to medication (Viagra, Cialis, etc.)

• Men with ED after prostate surgery, diabetes, or pelvic trauma

• Patients with Peyronie’s Disease and ED

• Individuals seeking a long-term, reliable solution

🔍 Types of Penile Implants

There are two main types of penile prostheses:

1. Inflatable Penile Implants (Most Common)

• Two-piece or three-piece inflatable devices

• Controlled by a pump placed in the scrotum

• Allows a natural-looking erection and flaccidity

• Most discreet and popular option

2. Malleable (Semi-Rigid) Implants

• Consists of bendable rods inserted into the penis

• Penis stays firm but can be positioned manually

• Simpler to use, especially for men with limited dexterity

🏥 How the Procedure Works

1. Performed under anesthesia

2. Small incision made at the base of the penis or lower abdomen

3. Device inserted into corpora cavernosa (erectile chambers)

4. For inflatable implants: pump and reservoir placed inside the scrotum and pelvis

5. Surgery typically takes 1–2 hours

6. Patient is discharged same or next day with instructions

What is a penile implant?

A penile implant is a surgically implanted device that helps you get an erection, usually if you have erectile dysfunction (ED).

There are two types of penile implants:

• Inflatable penile implant: A pump in your scrotum (the pouch of skin behind your penis) allows you to get an erection whenever you choose.

• Non-inflatable penile implant: Bendable silicone rods in the erection chambers of your penis allow you to extend the rods into an erect position.

Do penile implants make you bigger?

Penile implants can’t make your penis bigger than it is before surgery. Your erection may even seem shorter than what you remember when you were getting natural erections.

It’s important to know that the head of your penis (glans) doesn’t get hard (engorged) after inflation because the implant isn’t in the head of your penis. This can make it seem like your penis isn’t as large as it was before your implant. Your healthcare provider may prescribe you a medication to help increase the blood flow to the head of your penis.
