Penile prosthesis surgery procedure
Procedure:
For penile implant surgery, you will receive either general or spinal anesthesia. You will also get a urinary catheter, which can be removed the day after surgery. Once you are under anesthesia, the doctor will make a small incision either above the penis or between the penis and the scrotum. The incision exposes the erectile chambers, and the surgeon measures them to place a penile implant of the correct length.
Once the cylinders are in place, the reservoir is placed behind the abdominal wall, and the pump is placed in the scrotum between the testicles to conceal the pump.
Finally, all elements of the implant are connected, and the incision is sutured. The wounds are cleaned, and a compressive bandage is applied. Most surgeons choose to leave the penile implant inflated for one day. Some surgeons prefer to leave a drain which is then usually removed one day after the procedure.
