What is Penile Implant Surgery?
For those not familiar, penile implant surgery involves placing a prosthesis inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to achieve an erection. It's a practical solution when other treatments haven't been effective or aren't preferable.
At Florida Urology Partners , we offer different types of penile implants to fit all common needs, and we're ready to discuss which might be the best option for you.
Types of Penile Implants
- Inflatable Implants
- Semi-rigid Rods
Each type has its advantages. Inflatable implants are more natural-looking, while semi-rigid rods are simpler and easier to use.
