penile implant surgery

Have you been struggling with Erectile Dysfunction and haven't found success with any treatment options?

A Penile Implant may be the solution.

Penile Implant Surgery involves the surgical placement of a medical device, typically made of silicone or another material, into the penis to enable an erection.

The urological surgeons at Restore Urology have years of experience performing this procedure and thousands of men have found a solution to erectile dysfunction. So if you are experiencing ED and aren’t satisfied with other treatment options such as medications and injections, we can help.

We are able to hear your concerns, answer your questions and help determine if this is a viable option to help you resume sexual activity.

What is a Penile Implant?

There are two types of Penile Implants: inflatable and malleable.

Inflatable Penile Implant

Inflatable implants consist of two inflatable cylinders that are placed in the natural erection cavities of the penis, along with a small pump and a fluid reservoir that is implanted in the lower abdomen.

When you want an erection, you activate the pump to move fluid into the paired cylinders, causing them to inflate and create a spontaneous erection. After intercourse, you can deflate the cylinders to return to a flaccid state.

Malleable Penile Implant

Malleable (aka semi-rigid) implants are less complex and consist of two flexible rods that are placed in the penis, while still giving it a natural looking appearance.

You manually move the rods up and down to create an erection and they can be easily bent back into a flaccid position when not in use.

The malleable implant is a simple alternative which does not require inflating/deflating

The Benefits of Penile Implant Surgery

Guaranteed Erection

Avoid the anxiety of an uncertain erection. A Penile Implant provides a guaranteed ability to achieve an erection on demand

Control Timing and Length of Erection

With inflatable implants, you can control the timing of your erections and the length of time you maintain them.

Spontaneity and Intimacy

Control of your erection can provide a greater sense of spontaneity and intimacy in your sexual relationships.

A Solution for ED

Unlike medication or injections, which must be taken or administered before sexual activity, a Penile Implant is always in place and ready to go.

Would Penile Implant Surgery be suitable for me?

Penile Implant Surgery is for men who have not had success with other treatment options for Erectile Dysfunction, such as medication, injections, or vacuum devices. Additionally, men who have had their prostate removed due to cancer, and those with buried penis, penile curvature or Peyronie’s disease can benefit from this procedure.

It's important to discuss your specific circumstances with an experienced urological surgeon to determine if this surgical procedure is right for you. In general, candidates for this procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

What can I expect during Penile Implant Surgery?

Penile Implant Surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic, with a single overnight stay. Recovery is 3 - 4 weeks, and sex can be resumed after 4 - 6 weeks.

During the surgery, a small 3 - 4cm separate incision will be made either below or above the penis and the inflatable or malleable implants will be custom fitted. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions for post-operative care to prevent infection and minimise the risk of mechanical failure or device malfunction. They will also schedule follow-up appointments with them or a specialist nurse to ensure that your recovery is smooth and successful.
