Penile Implants (Prosthesis Surgery)
Advanced surgical solutions for severe erectile dysfunction offering reliable, on-demand firmness and natural sensation with 3-piece inflatable and malleable prostheses.
Penile implants offer a permanent, worry-free solution to severe ED—restoring spontaneous intimacy, confidence, and natural sensation with over 95% patient and partner satisfaction.
Overview
A penile prosthesis (penile implant) is a proven medical device surgically placed inside the penis to allow men with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) to achieve an erection whenever desired. It is considered the definitive gold-standard solution for men whose ED has not responded to oral medications (such as PDE5 inhibitors), injections, or shockwave therapy, as well as men with diabetes, post-prostatectomy nerve injury, or Peyronie's disease.
Key Points
Symptoms
Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to acute distress. Early identification allows prompt, painless intervention.
Causes & Risk Factors
Severe vascular & diabetic neuropathy
Endothelial dysfunction and corporal smooth muscle fibrosis
Iatrogenic post-surgical nerve damage
Cavernosal nerve injury post-radical prostatectomy or colorectal resection
Peyronie's disease fibrosis
Severe tunical plaque causing curvature and vascular leak
Venous leak (Corporovenous Occlusive Dysfunction)
Inability of the tunica albuginea to trap blood within corpora
Diagnosis
Comprehensive Andrological Assessment
Detailed review of ED history, cardiovascular health, past medications, and patient goals.
Penile Color Doppler Ultrasound
Pharmacologically induced erection to evaluate arterial peak systolic velocity and venous competence.
Pre-Operative Cardiopulmonary Optimization
HbA1c glycemic control check and anesthesia clearance to ensure maximum surgical safety.
Treatment Options
3-Piece Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP)
Gold-Standard Hydraulic Implant
Consists of two fluid-filled cylinders placed inside the natural erection chambers, a discreet miniature pump placed in the scrotum, and a reservoir in the pelvis. Squeezing the scrotal pump transfers fluid to produce a completely natural, firm erection. Pressing the release valve deflates the penis to a natural flaccid state.
Malleable (Semi-Rigid) Penile Implant
Durable & Mechanically Simple
Consists of two flexible, silicone-coated rods that can be manually positioned upwards for intimacy and bent downwards for discreet daily activity. Highly reliable with zero mechanical parts, ideal for men with limited manual dexterity.
Penile Modeling for Peyronie's Disease
Simultaneous Straightening & Rigidity
Surgical plaque incision or modeling performed simultaneously with prosthesis insertion to correct severe curvature, restore penile length, and eliminate erectile dysfunction in a single procedure.
Recovery & Follow-Up
1 to 2 days at KIMS Hospital, Nellore, with dedicated andrology surgical care.
Patients walk comfortably on day 1; light desk work within 5 to 7 days.
Strict glycemic management for diabetic patients, comfortable loose clothing, gentle hygiene.
Wound inspection at 1 week; clinic teaching, device activation, and green light for intimacy at 6 weeks.

- •Erectile dysfunction has not responded to Viagra, Cialis, or other oral medications
- •Experiencing troublesome side effects from ED pills or injections
- •Severe ED following prostate surgery, rectal surgery, or longstanding diabetes
