Penile implant surgery involves the placement of a prosthetic device within the penis and scrotum to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to achieve an erection. It's a solution for those whose ED has not responded to less invasive treatments. This procedure is designed to mimic the look and performance of a natural erection, with the intent to enhance one's quality of life and intimate relationships.

The implants come in two main types: inflatable and malleable (or semi-rigid). Inflatable implants allow for a more natural-feeling erection and flaccidity, while malleable implants are firm yet bendable, allowing for simplicity in positioning. ensures that patients are thoroughly informed of their options to make the most suitable choice.

The success of the surgery is dependent on several factors, including the skill of the surgeon and the overall health of the patient.

We pride ourselves on our surgical expertise and meticulous care during and after the procedure. Post-surgery satisfaction stems not only from restored sexual function but also from the reassurance that the implant is discreet and not noticeable when clothed.

Penile implant surgery is a subject that comes with myriad questions. We recognize the importance of providing detailed answers to assuage fears and bolster confidence. Our comprehensive FAQ addresses not only the procedural specifics but also the emotional and psychological aspects that accompany this journey.

Determining candidacy for penile implant surgery is a process that involves medical evaluations and discussions about your health history, current medical conditions, and the nature of your ED. It is vital for a candidate to have a realistic expectation and to understand the permanent nature of the implant.

Here at Virtua Center for Surgery , careful screening processes are in place to ascertain suitability for the surgery. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures a thorough assessment by covering medical, functional, and psychological facets.

Many patients are concerned about the potential loss of sensation post-surgery. It is important to note that penile implants do not affect the sensation of the skin or the ability to reach orgasm. The implant solely serves to aid in achieving and maintaining an erection.

The integrity of sensation continues to allow for pleasurable sexual experiences. Our patients are often relieved to find that their fears regarding a diminished sexual response are unfounded.

The concern for a partner's experience during intimacy is common among men considering this surgery. The implant is designed to be unobtrusive and function in a way that should not hinder a partner's enjoyment or the natural process of sexual intercourse.

We encourage open communication with partners throughout the decision-making process, and our support extends to them as well. It is our priority that the sexual health and happiness of our patients and their partners are thoroughly safeguarded.

Potential patients often inquire about the reversibility of penile implant surgery. The procedure is generally considered permanent. While the device can be removed, it is crucial to recognize that the surgery alters the natural erection mechanism, which could lead to a dependency on the implant for an erection.

Our team imparts a clear understanding of the long-term implications of the implant. However, if circumstances do require removal, such as implant malfunction or infection, we provide comprehensive care and options for subsequent management.

Maintenance and the long-term performance of the implant are understandably significant considerations. A penile implant typically lasts between 10 to 15 years before it might need to be replaced due to wear or malfunction.
