Surgery for erectile dysfunction
Surgery for erectile dysfunction may have as its goal:
- To implant a device that causes the penis to become erect;
- To reconstruct arteries in order to increase the flow of blood to the penis, or
- To block veins that drain blood from the penis.
Implantable devices, known as prostheses, can cause erections in many men with impotence.
Malleable implants usually consist of paired rods, which are inserted surgically into the corpora cavernosa, the twin chambers running the length of the penis. The user manually adjusts the position of the penis and, therefore, the rods. Adjustment does not affect the width or length of the penis.
Inflatable implants consist of paired cylinders, which are surgically inserted inside the penis and can be expanded using pressurized fluid (see figure 3). Tubes connect the cylinders to a fluid reservoir and pump, which also are surgically implanted. The patient inflates the cylinders by pressing on the small pump, located under the skin in the scrotum. Inflatable implants can expand the length and width of the penis somewhat. They also leave the penis in a more natural state when not inflated.
Possible problems with prostheses include mechanical breakdown and infection. Mechanical problems have diminished in recent years because of technological advances.
