Surgical Treatment of Erectile Impotence with Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

Abstract

Men (39) with erectile impotence were treated with surgical implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis. The patients were followed for 6 mo. to 2 yr. Thirty-five patients (90%) have expressed long-term satisfaction with the appearance and performance of the prosthesis. Major complications developed in 9 patients (23%), requiring 12 subsequent operative procedures.
